Fattoria di Sammontana, Primo Fuoco Rosato, Tuscany, Italy

Fattoria Di Sammontana has a rich history dating back to the 12th century and the Medici family, however this isn’t where we begin, we want to skip to 1867 to when Michele Dzieduszycki, a Polish nobleman bought the property for his love of Tuscany, actually we’re going to skip forward again passed his son Maurizio who settled there for his love of a Tuscan woman to Massimo, his son and his love of the Tuscan landscape and his ideals in farming.

Four generations, an organic and a biodynamic movement later and I think Massimo would be proud.

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). It is made from local red clay (“terra rossa”).
