Vineyards & Winemaking

The Pecorello grapes grow on hillside vineyards with clay-calcareous soils. These sites receive generous Mediterranean sunshine; however, cooling coastal breezes help retain freshness and natural acidity. Because of this balance, the grapes reach full flavour without losing precision.

After harvest, the winery gently presses the grapes and ferments the juice in stainless steel at controlled temperatures. This approach preserves the grape’s natural aromatics. The wine then rests briefly in stainless steel, without oak, so the fruit remains clean and focused.

Colour

Bright straw-yellow with subtle green reflections.

Aromas & Flavour

On the nose, Prima Fila Bianco opens with fresh floral notes. Then, aromas of white peach, citrus and ripe tropical fruit follow, alongside light nutty hints. On the palate, the wine feels smooth yet lively. It delivers ripe fruit, balanced acidity and a clean, refreshing finish. Importantly, it stays expressive without becoming heavy or sharp.

Food Pairing

Thanks to its structure and freshness, this wine pairs easily with:

  • Seafood and shellfish

  • Fish-based pasta and risotto

  • Grilled or baked fish

  • Light antipasti and vegetable dishes

It also works well as an aperitivo when served well chilled.

Why Buy This Wine
