About the Wine:
Sassontino originates from one of the historic vineyards of the Casanova estate, whose sandy soil offers a Piedmontese interpretation of Sangiovese. The scents are floral, with notes of black cherry and currant. The palate is decisive and dry, with a savory and captivating finish.
The Sassontino vineyard is characterized by the presence of oceanic sediments in the soil.
These sediments gives the wine splendid elegance and richness.
Giorgio Rivetti claims that the elegance of this Sangiovese reminds him of the floral scents and grace of a great Nebbiolo.
