The "Petrucci Melo DOC Orcia" from Podere Forte is a wine that captivates with its distinctive personality and innate elegance, reflecting the authentic expression of the Val d'Orcia region, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Born from vineyards cultivated according to organic and biodynamic farming principles, this wine is the result of a careful selection of Sangiovese grapes, which provide a rich and complex aromatic profile.
In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color, with hues that tend toward garnet with aging. On the nose, the Petrucci Melo DOC Orcia offers a varied bouquet, where a range of aromas of ripe red fruits like cherry and plum stand out, enriched by spicy notes of black pepper and vanilla, the result of meticulous barrel aging.
On the palate, the wine's structure is robust yet harmonious. The balance between mature tannins and lively acidity is masterfully achieved, leading to a persistent and pleasantly fresh finish. The complexity of flavors pairs well with a wide variety of dishes, making it ideal to accompany grilled red meats, game-based dishes, or aged cheeses.
The meticulous care in the vineyard and winery is clearly reflected in the quality of the Petrucci Melo DOC Orcia, making it a precious choice for connoisseurs and a flagship of Podere Forte's production. A true expression of the terroir that surprises with every sip.
