Sassatelli family obtained Coriano castle at the fall of Malatesta. Their emblem, three golden mountains on a blue field surmounted by two lilies and a heart, has become the civic emblem of the Town Hall.
This wine, produced in accordance with the purest local tradition, is dedicated to Sassatelli.
 

The year  2009 has seen the known characteristic of a temporary softening of the overall heat had in 2008 and especially 2007. We returned to the harvest dates better suited to our latitude; and this has allowed us to further exploit the temperature changes between day and night, and with them the natural fragrances of our core products.
Chronologically the harvest began withy the picking of Cabernet Franc from the 28th of August to the 3rd of September to continue with the two Sirah grapes that make up the vineyard of Blessed Henry. The Sangiovese was harvested around the 20th of September. All the grapes including Cabernet Sauvignon, last to be brought into the cellar, had high levels of health, different degrees of freshness instead from the more mature, the Franc, to the more toned, Sangiovese of the Sun.
 

The Sassatello Rosso story is a minor one. Sangiovese mostly made, it collects all that his more famous brothers cannot squeamish incorporate. And it is here that you can feel his whole
operational generosity and, alas, even his greatest roughness. More technically Sassatelli Sangiovese I.G.T. is a mixture of grapes produced and aged by steel in the company.
 

A bit of color and a nose decidedly less rustic hark back to its genesis. Do not think, however, to a light wine with a silly character. There is a pasta of all respect for a wine that wants to please all budgets.
