Podere Forte Petrucci Anfiteatro
Wine Description
“From its natural setting, it seduces with pervasive elegance. It entices you with its unique citrussy, spicy freshness to savour its delights.”
Pasquale Forte
The Cru Petrucci Anfiteatro is one of the two maximum espressions of Sangiovese from Podere Forte. Maniacal attention is paid to every detail in the vineyard and cellar. "Anfiteatro" is the name of the 2.4 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 surface.
