The history of the Sassotondo farm is made of love for the land and for a sustainable lifestyle that led Edoardo Ventimiglia, documentary maker, and his wife Carla Benini, agronomist, to leave the city for the countryside. So it was that arrived in Sovana in the Tuscan Maremma in 1990 from a dilapidated house, 1 hectare of vineyard and 72 abandoned hectares, Edoardo and Anna slowly created the Sassotondo farm certified organic since 1994, which today has 12 hectares of vines of which 9 red berry (cherry, sangiovese, teroldego and merlot) and 3 white berry (trebbiano, greek, sauvignon), which give life to genuine wines capable of telling their passionate story in one sip.

Ciliegiolo di Sassotondo is vinified with 100% Ciliegiolo grapes, grown in the vineyards of Sovana and Pitigliano in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma. The harvest is manual and very accurate, selecting the best fruits. Fermentation takes place without the addition of yeasts and lasts between 1 and 20 days, also including the maceration process, while the maturation is in steel for a few months.
