Fattoria di Sammontana Primo Fuoco Rosso 2021

Floral & Rustic

The vineyards of Fattoria di Sammontana are located along the hills that border the Arno River, 20km to the south west of Florence. Today, the family - now in its fourth generation - runs the farm according to organic and biodynamic practices, with the intent to fully preserve and sustain the traditions and winemaking history of the land.

In the language of potters, “Primo Fuoco” is the initial clay firing that leads to the creation of terracotta (with a second and a third firing you get different types of ceramic and majolica). This wine is fermented naturally and matured in a large terracotta amphora, hand made from local red clay (“terra rossa”).

On the nose, Primo Fuoco Rosso is floral and fruity. The notes of cherry dominate with a mineral touch that is almost flinty. The palette is long and lucious.

Perfect with white and red meats, as well as with aperitivo, such as quiche and hard cheeses.
