Casamia Bianco 2022 Podere Sassi

Casamia Bianco 2022 Podere Sassi – Lazio IGT

Wine Overview

Casamia Bianco 2022 is a natural white wine produced by Podere Sassi in Tarano, Lazio. It is made from Trebbiano grapes grown at 300 meters above sea level on clay, sand, and silt soils of Plio-Pleistocene origin. A short two-day maceration and aging in cement tanks on fine lees preserve freshness, aromatic complexity, and minerality. This natural white, with no added sulfites, expresses authenticity, elegance, and immediacy, reflecting the true character of the Sabini Mountains and the surrounding Lazio hills.

History and Terroir

Podere Sassi is located in a pristine hilly area on the border between Lazio and Umbria. The vineyards, trained with the Guyot system, are rooted in complex soils that combine clay, sand, and silt, giving the wines structure and depth. The grapes for Casamia Bianco are hand-harvested in late September, producing a wine that balances traditional local practices with the philosophy of natural, sustainable viticulture.

Vineyard Philosophy and Winemaking

Vineyard management is entirely manual and respects biodiversity. No selected yeasts or additives are used, and fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. The short two-day skin maceration and cement aging enhance the fresh floral and fruity notes of Trebbiano while maintaining natural balance, elegance, and freshness.
