Fattoria di Sammontana – Primo Fuoco Bianco 2022

This skin contact wine offers an intense aromatic expression with floral notes of orange blossom and hints of chamomile, mixed with ripe white fruit such as peach and apricot. The taste is characterised by a full body, supported by complexity from prolonged skin maceration, and a distinct orange wine character with firm tannin structures. The structure reveals subtle earthy notes from the terracotta amphorae, combined with balanced acidity from fermentation in the amphorae, which also gives the wine freshness. The long finish has depth and complexity, with a combination of fruity and spicy notes.
