The Vasco Sassetti Estate, located in Brunello di Montalcino in Tuscany, is a unique and emblematic vineyard of the region. With a rich history that dates back several centuries, this estate is the reflection of an unwavering passion for viticulture, passed down from generation to generation. Stretching over an area of 20 hectares, the estate's vineyards are primarily planted with Sangiovese, a local grape variety that is at the heart of the region's most sought-after wines, including the famous Brunello di Montalcino. The vines, mostly about fifty years old, are cultivated on terraces, following the gentle slope of the Tuscan hills, thus providing the grapes with ideal ripening conditions. The estate distinguishes itself through its traditional cultivation methods. Here, no artificial irrigation is used; winemakers prefer to let the vines naturally draw water from the soil, and no pesticides are used. This results in authentic wines, faithfully reflecting the unique terroir of Brunello di Montalcino. The wines from the Vasco Sassetti Estate are recognized for their exceptional quality. The Brunello di Montalcino, in particular, is a powerful and complex red wine, presenting aromas of ripe red fruits, gentle spices and leather, on a robust tannic structure, which gives it great aging potential. The house also produces a Rosso di Montalcino, a more accessible and fruity wine, that allows one to appreciate the character of the Sangiovese in its youth. The wine cellar, combining tradition and modern technology, ensures careful and respectful winemaking. The wines are then aged in oak barrels, giving them subtle woody notes and beautiful complexity.
