This is a selection from our private cellar thanks to dear friends Carla and Edoardo who have created truly unique wines.

The wines of Sassotondo want to be an expression of this powerful and mysterious territory: the native vines and an environment that is in some respects extreme – with the tuff that emerges everywhere – produce fine and elegant wines, naturally concentrated, savory and spicy.

Blue Shadow

Sovana superior red doc

Grapes: Sangiovese 55%, Merlot 23%, Teroldego 15%, Ciliegiolo 7%

Alc. 14%

From our vineyards of Sovana and Pitigliano; partly old (35 years old) partly new; bred, the old double guyot system with 2500/3500 plants per hectare, the new spurred cordon and sapling with 6000 plants per hectare.

The grapes are harvested and selected by hand and vinified separately.

This wine will be shipped in a polystyrene box. The shipment will be insured in case of breakage.

Fermentation takes place without the addition of yeasts and lasts, including maceration, between 25 and 30 days. The wines mature for 12 months, partly in barriques and partly in steel. Subsequently blended and bottled, the wine is marketed after a minimum of 6 months of aging in the bottle.

Ruby color, very consistent. The nose is broad: jam of small red fruits, cedar wood and black pepper combine to form the bouquet. In the mouth it is very warm and concentrated, soft, with sweet and round tannins; very long, but not heavy.
