Sassaia
is a US registered trademark of Azienda Bergaglio Pier Carlo located in the Monferrato region of Piedmont and we are known for traditionally
crafted limited production wines. The
winery actively employs sustainable agricultural practices in caring for the vineyard and solar energy in the wine making
process. Under the direction of Pier Carlo
Bergaglio and Enrico de Alessandrini, the
estate manages over 25 hectares (60+
acres) of their own vineyards where each
vintage is harvested by hand to insure the
selection of superior grapes for artisanal
wines. Old world varietals planted in the
1940s and 1950s, sloping southeasterly
and southwesterly exposure, Pier Carlo's
dedicated craftsmanship and Enrico’s collaboration results in wines that are an incredible expression of their fruit and terroir. Sassaia also selectively sources and
estate bottles exclusive limited production
wines from single family growers in Italy’s
renowned Barolo and Barbaresco Piedmont DOCG regions. Enrico and Pier
Carlo actively collaborate in shaping SASSAIA to deliver an elegant expression of
Piedmont’s finest wines.
