Podere Forte

Val d'Orcia

Podere Forte’s estate is located in Castiglione d'Orcia, in Tuscany’s UNESCO-listed Val d'Orcia. Founded in 1997 by entrepreneur Pasquale Forte, the winery was built around the revival of the traditional podere; a self-sufficient Tuscan farm that works in harmony with nature.

Spanning over 500 hectares, with just 16 under vine, the estate is farmed using biodynamic principles, with vineyards, forests, olive groves, animals, and gardens forming a closed-loop system. The focus is on Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot, grown in high-altitude, limestone-rich soils. Wines like Petrucci, Guardiavigna, and Petruccino reflect a deep respect for terroir, crafted with precision and elegance.
