Podere Forte Orniello Guardiavigna 2018
The name of this wine derives from the small tower in the centre of the estate, which was put in to guard the vineyards from Napoleonic invasions. Around the tower, at 480 metres above sea level with a south-southwest exposure, are the grapes for this great wine, elegant and harmonious, well-structured in which the warmth and aromas of this terroir can be felt.

Bouquet
