Primo Fuoco Bianco Toscano IGT Organic

Trebbiano Toscano from the oldest vineyards, macerated and matured in terracotta amphorae

A macerated white with a unique character, where the tradition of the amphora meets the soul of Trebbiano

The First White Fire of Sammontana Farm

Primo Fuoco Bianco is made from a careful selection of the finest Trebbiano Toscano, harvested from the estate's oldest vineyards. The grapes ferment in large 500-liter terracotta amphorae using indigenous yeasts, with daily manual punching down, followed by a long maceration on the skins for approximately two months. After racking, the wine returns to the amphorae for a further eight months of aging. It is therefore a macerated white—an "orange wine" of the finest school—with extraordinary personality and complexity. Grown organically and biodynamically, and produced in just 1.200 bottles, it represents the white twin of Primo Fuoco Rosso: a rare, vibrant wine with an unforgettable character.
 
 
 

The roots of this Primo Fuoco are buried in ancestral macerated wines

Maceration of white grapes on the skins is the oldest winemaking technique, the one that gave birth to the first wines in history, vinified in terracotta amphorae, as was done thousands of years ago in the Caucasus. These "amber" wines, now rediscovered and celebrated as orange wines, revive an ancestral knowledge that yields intense aromas, tannic structure, and an extraordinary ability to pair with food. Trebbiano Toscano, a historic grape variety of these lands, lends itself magnificently to this interpretation, revealing an unexpected and profound soul. With this white wine, Fattoria di Sammontana has created a project of rare ambition, blending age-old tradition with a contemporary vision.
 
 
 

Choosing the First White Fire means taking care of yourself

A wine produced organically and biodynamically, macerated and aged in amphorae without filtration, represents a conscious choice for a more natural and authentic drinking experience. Spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts and lengthy maceration on the skins preserve and enrich the grape's richness. Prolonged contact with the skins gives this macerated white wine an unusually high concentration of polyphenols and antioxidants for a white wine. Consumed in moderation, it is part of the convivial Mediterranean tradition. Choosing a biodynamic wine also means supporting sustainable agricultural practices that respect the vitality of the soil.
