"The 2006 Petrucci (Sangiovese) reveals a finely-knit fabric of ripe red fruits, flowers, menthol and tobacco, all of which come together with exceptional grace and elegance in a powerful yet sublime style. The wine possesses stunning length and silky, elegant tannins that frame the fruit all the way through to the long, satisfying finish. This is a gem from Podere Forte. What a pleasure it is to taste the two new releases from Podere Forte, a small estate that continues to impress for the sheer pedigree of their wines." Wine Advocate #184, Aug 2009 |
