Villaggio
“This wine contains all the energy of Biodynamics, respecting our living soils”
Pasquale Forte
Villaggio is an espression of varied vineyards/soils and primarily from younger vines. The name Villaggio was chosen as the concept of "Vin de Village" used in Burgundy: An accessible, ready to drink, appealing wine. "Welcome to Podere Forte."
Wine Production
VINEYARD: the vineyard is planted with a density of 6.250 and 7.800 vines per hectare; bush-trained vines according to organic and biodynamic practices.
HARVEST: grapes are harvested in 15 kg crates; a careful manual bunch selection and then an optical selection of the individual grapes follows.
VINIFICATION AND AGEING: spontaneous fermentation in French oak vats; malolactic fermentation in French oak casks, where the ageing continues for 14-16 months before blending. Then 6 - 8 months of bottle maturation.
Tasting Notes
Brilliant ruby red color and a fresh, clean nose with hints of sour black cherry and a touch of iodine. Elegant, with citrus notes. On the palate, grippy but very elegant, with pleasant tannins that make it very drinkable, with a savory, mineral finish.
Food Pairing
Pairable with both cold cuts as an aperitivo and to mid-structured first courses or white meat.
