Toscana IGT 'Guardiavigna' 2016 (750 ml.) Podere Forte
The name of the 'Guardiavigna' by Podere Forte derives from the small tower located in the center of the farm, from which Gigiotto di Rocca d’Orcia, returning from the Napoleonic countryside, was placed to guard the vineyards. Around the tower, at 480 mt. above sea level with south-south / west exposure are the Cabernet Franc grapes of this great wine, elegant and harmonious, well structured in which you can feel the heat and the scents of the terroir. Aging in French oak barrels for 20-22 months before final assembly. Rich and complex bouquet with hints of small red and dark fruits, spicy and balsamic notes. Equipped with a silky tannic texture, refined and well balanced with acidity. Enveloping, soft and of great complexity. Persistent and mineral finish.

In the heart of Tuscany, where the hills of Val d'Orcia blend into a landscape that seems to have come out of a Renaissance painting, stands Podere Forte. This winery is the fruit of the vision of Pasquale Forte, an entrepreneur who has been able to transform his passion for wine into a project of excellence. Here, among the sinuous lines of the vineyards and the sweetness of the territory, a concept of viticulture comes to life that embraces luxury and innovation, while remaining deeply respectful of nature.
Podere Forte is located in one of the most evocative regions of Tuscany, where the climate and soil give unique characteristics to the vines. The DOC Orcia and IGT Toscana denominations are the stage on which the great protagonists of this winery perform: Sangiovese, Petit Verdot and Merlot, varieties that find their ideal habitat here. The production philosophy of Podere Forte is based on regenerative agriculture, an approach that aims to improve soil health and preserve the natural ecosystem, while ensuring uncompromising quality.
Under the expert guidance of Pasquale Forte, the winery has created wines of rare elegance and complexity, capable of enchanting even the most demanding palates. Among the main labels, Guardiavigna and Petrucci stand out.

Each bottle is the result of obsessive attention to detail, from the vineyard to the cellar, to offer a tasting experience that tells the story and passion of Podere Forte.

THE WINE
The name of the 'Guardiavigna' by Podere Forte derives from the small tower located in the center of the farm, from which Gigiotto di Rocca d’Orcia, returning from the Napoleonic countryside, was placed to guard the vineyards. Around the tower, at 480 mt. above sea level with south-south / west exposure are the Cabernet Franc grapes of this great wine, elegant and harmonious, well structured in which you can feel the heat and the scents of the terroir.

THE FARM
The philosophy that is followed and applied by Pasquale Forte is based on the anthroposophical teachings of Rudolf Steiner, it is based on universal principles such as those of correctness and respect. Biodynamic agriculture is a way of being, of observing, of working the land. The aim is not to let the earth do it, but to help it. The three principles of biodynamics are: maintaining soil fertility; make plants healthy so that they resist disease and pests; produce quality food for human health. Since 1997 Podere Forte has embraced these simple but decisive rules. Ancient and modern. Traditional and futuristic. Governed by a perfect and self-sufficient ecosystem capable not only of preserving the existing, but of improving it. A farm that pursues perfection and quality in full and total respect for the environment. The scientific and meticulous analysis of the land, animal breeding, the self-production of compost, the architectural integration of the cellar and the use of the most advanced technologies, in full respect of the environment.
