The Petrucci Melo DOC Orcia, produced by the renowned Podere Forte winery, is a true gem for connoisseurs of high-quality Italian wines. Presented in an elegant Magnum format of 1.5 liters and housed in a refined wooden case, this wine exemplifies the dedication and innovative winemaking of the Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO heritage site known for its breathtaking landscapes and unique soils.

Petrucci Melo stands out for its deep and bright ruby red color. On the nose, complex aromas of ripe fruits like cherries and plums emerge, blending harmoniously with spicy notes and a slight hint of tobacco and chocolate, a result of aging in French oak barrels.

On the palate, the wine is structured and well-balanced. The tannic richness is enveloping but never overwhelming, perfectly integrating the vibrant acidity that characterizes many of the great wines of Tuscany. The finish is long and persistent, with an aftertaste that brings back spices and dark fruit, leaving a pleasantly warm and complex sensation.

Ideal to serve at a temperature of 18°C, Petrucci Melo DOC Orcia pairs splendidly with robust dishes such as red meat roasts, game, and aged cheeses. It is also a wine that can benefit from a few years of aging in the cellar, developing further layers of complexity and elegance.

With its presentation in a wooden case, Petrucci Melo is also an excellent option for a distinctive gift or as a collectible piece for lovers of exclusive wines. The meticulous limited production and attention to detail make each bottle a work of art to be savored and admired.
