The Calabrian parents owned land, vines and olive trees. Then the transfer of the family to Lombardy, his studies, the entrepreneurial adventure, which continues today, lead Pasquale Forte's ambition towards other goals, other satisfactions.
But the land and its chosen products, wine and oil, represent an irresistible attraction for him.
Custom designed as well as the machinery and vats, the cellar is a unique environment spread over five floors, of which only two are entirely above ground. The structure allows the management of flows by gravity thanks to the wells that connect the different floors. A choice that limits the use of pumps and allows grapes, musts and wine to slide towards the aging barrels, minimizing mechanical stress.
A laboratory to monitor the entire supply chain, from raw material to finished product with chemical and biodynamic analyzes.
Pasquale Forte has a passion. The earth. It is a passion with ancient origins; the Calabrian parents owned land, vines and olive trees. Then the transfer of the family to Lombardy, his studies, the entrepreneurial adventure, which continues today, lead Pasquale Forte's ambition towards other goals, other satisfactions. But the land and its chosen products, wine and oil, represent an irresistible attraction for him.
The farm that today takes his name is of ancient lineage. After having belonged over the centuries to the Petrucci family, a historic Sienese family, he had passed from hand to hand following the thousand tortuous divisions among the heirs.
Forte is looking for a farm to make a dream come true. Il Podere an owner who brings it back to its ancient splendor. The meeting takes place thanks to the research of the architect Fabrizio Zambelli.
And it is immediately a great project: redevelop those lands to produce a wine of-wine.
