A fun little wine for natty lovers - methinks. Orange wine and refreshing white drinkers will both be pleased. Crisp, dry and savoury - cumquat, curry leaf and peach. Podere Sassi sits in a beautiful spot on the border with Umbria, overlooking the lower valley of the Sabina region. This is the Italy that tourists salivate for, a place of hilltop villages, castles and tiny vineyard plots. Since 2000, the Sassis have also looked to revive the vineyards of their family home and have recently planted 3 hectares. They only produce 15,000 bottles in total of their four handmade wines that are as natural as natural can be. ‘Corraggio’ means ‘courage’ and you’ll be full of it after a glass of this.
