Podere Forte Petruccino Orcia DOC 2022 — red

Taste and character

For those looking for an honest, terroir-driven Sangiovese with immediate drinking pleasure and character, Petruccino is an easy choice. Made from 100% Sangiovese from plots at an altitude of 430 metres with a west to south-west exposure, this cuvée shows the raw yet elegant profile of rocky limestone schist soils with a thin top layer of clay. That combination gives the wine concentration and a mineral touch, while the altitude provides freshness and refined acidity. The yield is carefully limited and the grapes are harvested by hand to guarantee optimal ripeness and pure fruit expression. In the cellar, a controlled, temperature-regulated fermentation follows, with a deliberate maceration that extracts colour, aromatic intensity and soft tannins from the grapes without overpowering the fruit. The result is a style that is direct and inviting, yet also offers enough structure to pair with heartier dishes and can effortlessly handle further bottle ageing. In the glass, Petruccino shows a ruby red colour. The nose opens with red cherries, wild herbs and subtle balsamic accents, an aromatic profile that unites Mediterranean warmth with a fresh undertone. The palate is juicy and lively: ripe red fruit and spiciness go hand in hand with attractive acidity and ripe, refined tannins. The finish is clean and lightly balsamic, with a pleasant minerality that refers back to the terroir. Petruccino is an excellent table companion for grilled red meat, stews, roast pork and rich pasta dishes, and goes well with medium-aged cheeses. Serve at around 16–18 °C in a large glass to let its aromatic complexity express itself fully.
