Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you to discover a gem of the Val d'Orcia, the Petrucci Anfiteatro 2018 from Podere Forte. This wine is an authentic expression of Sangiovese, a sensory journey that reveals the depth and elegance of its terroir. Let me guide you through its aromas.
Podere Forte, nestled in the heart of the Val d'Orcia, is an estate that embodies a commitment to excellence and sustainability. It is in this blessed region, where the microclimate is ideal, that the Sangiovese vines flourish fully. This emblematic Tuscan grape variety gives the Petrucci Anfiteatro its intensity and its very distinctive character.
The 2018 vintage of the Petrucci Anfiteatro is the result of careful winemaking. After fermentation in steel tanks, the wine benefits from 12 months of aging in wood, a crucial step that brings it complexity and harmony. The estate practices organic farming, which shows in the purity and liveliness of this wine. To the eye, it reveals an intense ruby red color, tending toward garnet with time. On the nose, you will be charmed by a rich and complex bouquet, blending notes of ripe red fruits, spices, and delicate balsamic touches. On the palate, the Petrucci Anfiteatro proves full and robust, endowed with a remarkable tannic structure that promises great longevity. The balance between its acidity and its tannins is masterful, resulting in a persistent and harmonious finish.
This wine is an ideal companion for the robust dishes of Tuscan cuisine. I particularly recommend it with roasted red meats or game, where its structure and aromas will fully express themselves. It will also pair wonderfully with aged cheeses, creating a flavorful and balanced pairing. The Petrucci Anfiteatro DOC Orcia is more than a wine; it is an invitation to meditation, a glass that tells the story of a land and a tradition. Let yourself be tempted by this authentic experience, a true concentrate of Tuscany in your glass.
