Description

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.

The philosophy followed and applied by Pasquale Forte is based on the anthroposophical teachings of Rudolf Steiner and on universal principles such as those of fairness and respect. Biodynamic agriculture is a way of being, observing, and working the land. The aim is not to let the earth do its work but to help it. The three principles of biodynamics are: maintaining soil fertility; making plants healthy to resist disease and pests; producing quality food for human health. Since 1997, the Podere Forte has embraced these simple but decisive rules. Ancient and modern.

Traditional and futuristic. Ruled by a perfect, self-sufficient ecosystem capable of preserving and improving what exists, Podere Forte is a company that pursues perfection and quality with total respect for the environment. The scientific and meticulous analysis of the soils, the rearing of animals, the self-production of compost, the architectural integration of the cellar and the use of the most advanced technologies, in full respect for the environment.
