Alessia and Stefano took full control in 2007 and immediately converted the vineyards to organic and biodynamic farming. Their 14 hectares include 10 of certified vines and the rest given over to olive groves and woodlands — a genuinely biodiverse estate. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe soils here are extraordinary — a mix of ancient ocean bed and morainic sediment left by glacial activity, rich in quartz, granite, calcite and alabaster. The old vines — many 60 to 70 years old — work these complex soils with roots that go deep, producing fruit of remarkable concentration and mineral precision. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe red range works with the traditional Bardolino varieties: Corvina, Rossanella, Rondinella and Molinara. The whites use Fernanda, Moscato, Trebbianello, Trebbiano, Garganega and Tocai — all spontaneously fermented without temperature control, with minimal sulphur and no fining or filtration. These are wines bursting with pure juice, minerality and what La Carta Wine calls \"a lust for life.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThrough Sassara and their vivacious countru wines, you quickly realise that the past is, in fact, the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDelivered Australia-wide. 15% off any dozen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"sassara-orange-bio-coconar-2023","title":"Sassara Orange Bio 'Coconar' 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis brilliant orange (macerated) wine is 100% Trebbiano from old vines, aged in stainless for 60 days.
