PETRUCCINO ORCIA

Conceived in 2002 as the little brother of the great Petrucci and made from grapes coming from the winery’s younger vines, Petruccino is known for its beautiful fruit but also for its surprising structure and pleasurable drinking just two years from the vintage. As the vines have aged and our work on the soils has enriched the terrain, Petruccino has become a true premier cru, an alternative expression of Sangiovese from the excellent terroirs of Podere Forte.

appellation DOC Orcia

grapes Sangiovese 60%, Cabernet Sauvignon 20%, Merlot 20%

alcohol 14%

tasting notes Intense and luminous red, with purple refl ections. A rich and elegant bouquet, where notes of red fruits such as cherry evolve towards blackberry or plum compôte, and integrate with aromas of vanilla and coffee. Elegant fl oral notes and spices such as cinnamon and clove preceed a fresh, almost minty fi nish. On the palate, Petruccino is soft and round, mineral and fresh.

viticulture 7.000 vines per hectare pruned to spalliera, conducted organically and biodynamically, harvested by hand.

vinification In wooden vats for 12-15 days. aging In French oak barrels of 225 litres, 40% new and 60% used, for 12-14 months.
