Il Guardiavigna IGT Toscana, presented in a Jeroboam format and housed in a wooden case, is a superb interpretation of the terroir offered by Podere Forte. This wine represents the pinnacle of organic Tuscan viticulture, with meticulous attention to quality rather than quantity.
Il Guardiavigna is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Merlot, cultivated on the rich and varied soil of Val d'Orcia, which imparts a distinctive character and exceptional complexity to the wine. Fermentation occurs in both wooden and steel vats, followed by maturation in French oak barriques for over 18 months, enhancing the wine's structure and aromatic depth.
On the nose, Il Guardiavigna presents a rich bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberry and plum, with elegant notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, and a subtle spice touch from the wood. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet balanced; its richness is well-supported by lively acidity and silky tannins, promising excellent aging potential.
The Jeroboam format, equivalent to four standard bottles, makes it ideal for special occasions, ensuring not only a top-notch sensory experience but also a visually impressive element. The wooden case it is presented in adds an extra touch of class and tradition, emphasizing the commitment to quality and presentation that Podere Forte dedicates to each of its products.
This wine is perfect for pairing with rich and structured dishes such as red meat roasts, game, and aged cheeses, allowing every nuance to be fully appreciated.
