VINIFICATION AREA
Sasseo is made with grapes from selected vineyards (40 ha). The grapes are harvested in the first week of September, with some of the berries having over-ripened on the vine. The grapes are then delicately pressed and destemmed and the must ferments in stainless steel tanks at an average temperature of 26°C. 

TASTING  NOTES
colour: deep and dull ruby red.
bouquet: the nose reveals full, intense aromas reminiscent of plums and red fruit jam with sweet spicy notes.
flavour: a wine with considerable body, the palate is enveloping, warm and soft and expresses very ripe fruit, backed by a pleasurable backbone of sweet tannins.

FOOD PAIRINGS
Excellent with full-flavoured first courses, white and red meats either grilled or served with sauces, ideal with roast lamb and matured cheeses but not marbled cheeses.
