Company Profile
Cantina Sassarini is a family winery that has preserved the winemaking tradition of the Cinque Terre since 1968, celebrating it as a symbol of a harsh and difficult-to-cultivate region.
The winery was founded by Natale Sassarini, who first recognized the quality and interest associated with the production of Cinque Terre wine, appearing as a trailblazer in the identification of the Controlled Designation of Origin in 1973.
Natale Sassarini built his winery and gathered around him numerous farmers who incessantly cultivated their vineyards with pride and mastery. Today, his horizon seems to merge with the horizon of all the winemakers of the Cinque Terre and his son Giancarlo, who proudly carries on the work he began over half a century ago.
The attention and care behind the winery's production represent a commitment to offering products that adhere to its terroir, made up of difficult vineyards in a challenging area.
The continuous care of vineyards and dry-stone walls are the only solution to passing down this World Heritage Site over time: it takes time, effort, and patience.
While the vineyards are still those of the last century, today the production site is completely renovated and equipped with state-of-the-art winemaking equipment, alongside ancient materials such as wood and concrete, confirming the commitment to perpetuate this tradition.
