Introduction to Sassotondo: Wine, Land, and Philosophy

This experience offers an ideal first approach to the production and winemaking philosophy of Sassotondo — a family-run winery rooted in the volcanic tuff landscape of the powerful and mysterious Etruscan Maremma.

We’ll begin with a visit to our underground cellar, where you'll learn about our ecological vineyard management choices, followed by a guided tasting of some of our most iconic wines.

Four wines will be featured during the tasting, each representative of our identity:

Isolina — a white (but not too white)
Lady Marmalade — a bold and bright rosé
Sassotondo Rosso — our classic, everyday Ciliegiolo
Ombra Blu — a moody, unexpected expression of Tuscany

The tasting will be guided and accompanied by bread and our organic EVO oil, made from the Caninese monocultivar.

Our winery has been certified organic since 1994, and we are proud members of both Volcanic Wines and the FIVI – Italian Independent Winegrowers association.

When visiting us, prepare for a trip into the countryside, surrounded by the nature of rural Tuscia. Everything here revolves around the vineyard and wine, so we recommend wearing comfortable outdoor clothing. Tastings are held either under our patio or in the air-conditioned tasting room, depending on the weather.

The morning spent with Carla at Sassotondo vineyards was educational and relaxing. They were very busy harvesting, but Carla was kind enough to make time for us. Visiting the cave was an experience and the tasting was amazing. A lovely tour at a lovely vineyard.

We had a great time experiencing the Sassotondo vineyard. Carla was very informative and provided a overview of the vineyard and the local wines they produce. We selected the tastings and tour guide which was a great experience. Carla spoke very good English which was easy to understand. The wines were amazing quality and was a great bespoke experience, thank you again

Beautiful experience, I really recommend a tasting in a quiet place surrounded by nature and animals. The cellar is really special and worth a visit! Excellent tasting with biscuits to enjoy wines with special taste! Carla, the landlady, is really nice and very helpful, thank you very much! Really organic and delicious wine. We will be back soon!

The tasting was simply perfect. We opted for the 'Volcanic Kaos' option and it was a real discovery of tastes, smells and flavours. Not only because of the delicious wines, but also because of the pastry combinations, which enhance their beauty. However, what turned out to be the jewel in the crown is precisely the atmosphere at Sassotondo. You feel in a familiar and rustic atmosphere, in a way, but also extremely cared for. We couldn't have made a better choice, we highly recommend it to everyone! I would have liked to add some photos, but we were too busy enjoying the moment.

A wonderful experience that regenerates your soul and makes you feel at peace with the world and with those around you. A tasting that exceeded all expectations and allowed us to get to know not only the winery but above all the people who belong to it and give their heart and soul every day. Thank you Giulia, thank you to the owner who also gave us a nice surprise with an extra wine...Thank you Sassotondo!
