Since the XVII century, Terzuoli family has always been involved in agricultural field.Bruno and Graziella were able to build a new winery business combining their country origins and their love during the 1970s.
At the beginning, the newborn Terzuoli family started to plant vineyard for the first time although their main activity remained grain and leguminous growth. They have educated their own child Roberto following the principles of passion and respect for nature and ground.
Roberto’s knowledge has been built up since high school, which was focused on agricultural studies. He has worked with some of the most important wineries of Brunello di Montalcino for more than 10 years. Thanks to these experiences Roberto could achieve and improve professional skills on Montalcino’s wine-producing world.Sassodisole started to keep up with Roberto’s.
The Soc. Agr. SassodiSole S.S. has launched in 2012 its own Quality Policy aimed to implement a business management system strongly oriented towards the safety and health food ("food safety") and the sustainability of its activities and products marketed, ensuring traceability, history and origin of their products, trying to maintain a strong link with the territory and cultural identity.
