Tasting notes Sassotondo Tuforosso 2022

Red wine Aged in stainless steel Organic.

Sassotondo Tuforosso 2022 is a youthful and vibrant red wine. On the nose, it reveals fresh aromas of plums and other red fruits. On the palate, it is dry and warm, yet perfectly balanced by its refreshing acidity. A red wine with smooth and enveloping tannins, a very pleasant choice for any occasion.

About Sassotondo Tuforosso

The beginning was hard. But neither Edoardo Ventimiglia nor his partner Carla Benini regret making such a drastic change in their lives. He was a film cameraman, she was an agricultural engineer, and they left everything behind after teaching a sommelier course in Rome and discovering the secret beauty of the Pitigliano and Sovana area in Tuscany. This is where they acquired a small abandoned estate in 1990 and worked hard to bring it up to date, enhance the intrinsic qualities of the local native varieties and highlight its volcanic soils. Under the name Sassotondo, it has become a reference point for a winegrowing area that not long ago was hardly known for its white wines and not at all for its reds. This is something that the Ventimiglia-Benini partnership has been able to wonderfully change, mostly by promoting the native red Ciliegiolo variety.

Sassotondo Tuforosso is a red wine made mainly from Sangiovese combined with Merlot and Teroldego. The vines are planted in the Sovana vineyards, with tuff, loose, acidic soils with low organic fertility but rich in minerals like potassium, magnesium and sodium. The work in the vineyard is organic and carried out without using chemical additives that could harm the natural balance of the terroir. The harvest is manual at the optimum point of ripeness. Each variety is vinified separately and fermentation is carried out with native yeasts over 15-20 days, including maceration. The wine then matures for a few months in stainless steel tanks.

Sassotondo Tuforosso is the result of a combination of international varieties with typical Maremma varieties, a crisp, silky and very convincing wine that highlights the reds of this part of southern Tuscany.
