“Petruccino” Orcia DOC 2024 – MAGNUM 1,5lt

Petruccino is produced by Podere Forte, an organic and biodynamic estate located in Castiglione d’Orcia in the Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural site in southern Tuscany. The wine is made from 100% Sangiovese grapes grown on soils with calcium schist pliocenic rock at shallow depth, a site the producer classifies as premier cru. Vinification takes place via spontaneous fermentation in French oak vats with a maceration of 16 to 26 days. Malolactic fermentation and ageing are carried out in French oak barriques and tonneaux for 14 months, followed by 6 to 8 months of bottle maturation before release. The 2022 vintage, presented in a 1.5 litre Magnum format, shows a ruby red colour with aromas of violet, plum and cherry alongside spicy and balsamic notes, and a dry, structured palate with fine tannins.
