About Sassotondo Franze

There is a long list of filmmakers, directors, technicians and actors who have always been interested in the world of wine. A passion so deep-rooted that it has led many of them to start their own winemaking projects. For Edoardo Ventimiglia, a film cameraman in Rome and the grandson of Hitchcock's first cameraman, when he and his wife Carla Benini discovered the Italian area of Sorano and Pitigliano, they didn’t think twice about leaving the world of spotlights to focus on recovering an abandoned estate with a lot of potential. Located around what was once the volcanic basin of Bolsena, under the name Sassotondo they produce genuine, original and markedly territorial wines.

Sassotondo Franze comes from a blend of Ciliegiolo and Teroldego grapes from a single cru vineyard in Sovana. This is a reserva red wine produced only in very favourable years. The vines were planted between 1998 and 2003 on tuff soil and cultivated following organic principles. The grapes are harvested by hand and each variety is vinified separately. Fermentation takes place without the addition of yeast and lasts 25 to 30 days, including maceration. The wine is then aged in used French oak barrels for 12 to 18 months.
 
Determined to enhance the value of this area of Tuscany, Edoardo and Carla have created Sassotondo Franze. A red wine that enjoys the robust structure of Teroldego tannins with the elegance of Ciliegiolo. Pure art!

 

2017

Sassotondo Franze 2017 is a concentrated red wine with aromas of small red fruits, cedar wood notes and hints of black pepper. On the palate it is warm, velvety and elegant. A wine with silky and well assembled tannins and a very long and pleasant finish.
