Comment on noteThe wine
Today I'm taking you to the heart of the Val d'Orcia, where Tuscany reveals unsuspected treasures. Imagine for a moment a sparkling wine, born from Tuscan soil, that defies expectations and elevates the region's flagship grape variety.
This Blanc de Noir Metodo Classico from the Podere Forte estate is a true gem, a bold and refined expression of Sangiovese. It is an invitation to rediscover the richness of this terroir, transformed with mastery into a symphony of bubbles.
Nestled in the heart of the Val d'Orcia, the Podere Forte estate is a fervent advocate of an organic philosophy, respectful of nature. It is in this unspoiled environment that this Metodo Classico is born, the fruit of expertise that combines tradition and cutting-edge techniques.
This sparkling wine is made from Sangiovese, Tuscany's emblematic grape variety. The 2015 vintage was carefully selected, and after a first fermentation, the base wine aged for 60 months on lees in the bottle, according to the classic method.
To the eye, this Blanc de Noir reveals an intense straw-yellow color, dotted with golden highlights. The perlage is fine and persistent, announcing beautiful liveliness. On the nose, you will discover a complex and mature bouquet, where notes of yeast, bread crust and white fruits mingle. On the palate, the creamy texture of the bubbles blends into a lively freshness and a balanced structure. It is a wine that surprises with its elegance and depth, revealing Sangiovese's ability to transform into a sparkling wine of character.
This Metodo Classico is a perfect choice for the aperitif, opening the taste buds with its freshness and complexity. I particularly recommend it with a variety of antipasti, fish-based dishes or even medium-aged cheeses.
Its finesse and character also make it an excellent companion for more festive moments, a brindisi among friends or a special occasion. Each sip of this Blanc de Noir from Podere Forte is a celebration of time and the passion that drives this estate. It is a wine that will tell you about Tuscany in a different way, an experience not to be missed for any lover of authentic bubbles.
