Podere Forte Petrucci Melo
Wine Description
“The wine of the Caesars, sumptuous, aristocratic, elegant and sinuous. It fascinates with its light scent of rose petals and attracts with its ruby swirl, glowing in power.”
Pasquale Forte

"Melo" is the name of the less than 1 ha vineyard from where it comes. Grand Cru soil is the classification given to this soil as the rock appears at only 2-3 feet from the surface.
