The Petrucci Melo DOC Orcia is a delightful expression of the unique terroir of the Val d'Orcia, masterfully produced by the renowned Podere Forte. This wine comes from meticulously tended vineyards, located in the heart of Tuscany, where the climate, soil, and winemaking tradition blend to create a product of exceptional quality.
Petrucci Melo stands out for its complexity and elegance. On the nose, it offers a rich and multifaceted bouquet, with predominant notes of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and a subtle touch of vanilla and chocolate, imparted by oak aging. On the palate, the wine is structured yet smooth, with finely woven tannins and a harmonious balance between acidity and alcohol.
Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by a period of aging in French oak barriques, which further enriches its flavor profile without overpowering the fruit's freshness.
The wine comes presented in a Jeroboam, a large format equivalent to four standard bottles, perfect for special occasions. The presentation in a wooden case adds a touch of refinement, making it an ideal gift for wine enthusiasts or an impressive addition to private collections.
Petrucci Melo DOC Orcia is perfect for serving with robust dishes like grilled red meats, game, and aged cheeses. We recommend decanting it at least an hour before serving to allow the wine to fully express itself. The optimal serving temperature is between 16-18°C.
A true gem from Podere Forte, the Petrucci Melo DOC Orcia is a testament to Tuscan winemaking excellence, destined to captivate even the most discerning palates.
