Producer Sassocorno

FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA

Sassocorno is a recent company in an ancient territory. Ancestral viticultural practices to look to the future. The story of Sassocorno joust between past and future, in a rigorous, innovative, measured, passionate approach. The territory is the hilly area of ​​eastern Friuli, specifically the municipal area of ​​Corno di Rosazzo. The hand is that of Stefano Poser and his partners Diego Tomasella, Francesca Ius and Loretta Silvestrini, who in 2017 acquired old vineyards between Rosazzo and Rocca Bernarda, and decided to plant new ones in Corno, naturally focusing on native vines. Coming from different experiences (medicine, engineering, jurisprudence, social service), they acquired agronomic and oenological skills from a great passion that led to deepen their knowledge. The values ​​of the respective professions guide the work in a way ethical. Spirit of observation, scientific approach and very clear ideas: no fertilization but green manure to enhance the potential of the soil, and as a fungicide copper (in half the quantities authorized by the organic), sulfur and essential oils. The oenological gestures aim to enhance the good produced in the vineyard. The vinifications are strictly parcel, that is, vineyard by vineyard, respecting and isolating their vines and terroir. Obviously the harvest is manual, the fermentations are spontaneous, the refinements are free of enological adjuvants. Since 2019, sulfur dioxide has been eliminated throughout the winemaking process. Likewise, no forced clarification or filtration. The goal is to obtain pure, free, clear and frank wines.
