Mannaro - Sassopra

Mananro - Sassopra

The Mannaro di Sassopra is an impetuous and overwhelming wine obtained from a blend of white grapes that lasts 136 days in contact with the skins. Refine in steel. The nouvelle vague of macerated yet highly drinkable whites is here to stay. Very few bottles available.

Service

It is recommended to taste it at a temperature of 10/12° in tulip glasses. Daily wine but does not mind being aged for a few years.

Pairing

Excellent wine that lends itself to being paired with pasta dishes, main courses of fish.

Winery: Sassopra

Sassopra is a young and dynamic company located in Frascati led by Federico, who after years of training in wineries, clubs, and training, together with his wife Marta, with Carlo Noro and Adriano Zago, decided to start producing wine. 5 hectares of old vineyards, cultivated in a biodynamic way, in the vineyard varieties such as malvasia puntinata, malvasia di candia, trebbiano, bombino, bellone and sangiovese prevail, while the production goes from whites, to rosés, passing through reds and sparkling wines. Federico and Marta work in a careful and natural way, in order to revive the soil, increase biodiversity and finally ensure a faithful and healthy expression of their terroir by the glass. In the cellar, then, we proceed exclusively with spontaneous fermentations, no filtration is carried out - but only decantations in the waning moon - and the sulfur content is always around 20 mg. The peculiar volcanic soil of the area, thanks to excellent sodium values and potassium, finally contributes to giving wines with a good dose of grit, minerals and pleasant acidity.
