While in Italy, we went to a wine tasting at
Podere Forte, founded in 1997 by Pasquale Forte, who strives for a symbiotic, sustainable environment for the people, plants, and animals to thrive on his estate (in addition to producing wine, the estate also raises farm animals).
Pasquale and his team took us on a quick tour of the vineyards, which concluded in a wine-tasting of their signature wines - Petrucci Melo, Petrucci Anfiteatro and Guardiavigna.
We then proceeded to the winery, which encompasses five floors, where we tasted select wines from the barrel.
The day ended with Pasquale showing us a very special mural that was done for him, featuring himself and his loved ones.
The integration of science with nature at Podere Forte helps to ensure quality wines.
