Tasting Notes

On the nose the 2016 Petruccino Orcia from Podere Forte opens with a sweet, round profile. The main aromas include graphite, coffee and dark chocolate.

The mouthfeel is elegant and round.

The finish is medium and the bottle very moreish!

Sangiovese

Wine making grape

Sangiovese is a red Italian wine grape variety named after the Latin sanguis Jovis, which means “Jupiter’s blood.” Though it is native to most of central Italy, from Romagna to Lazio, Campania, and Sicily, it is best known outside of Italy as the sole component of Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino, as well as the primary component of the blends Chianti, Carmignano, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and Morellino di Scansano, though it can also be used to make varietal wines like Sangiovese di Romagna
