Podere Forte

Born of a dream

In the heart of the Tuscan Val d'Orcia lies Podere Forte, a wine estate that effortlessly combines tradition and innovation. Founded in 1997 by entrepreneur Pasquale Forte, the estate focuses on biodynamic farming principles to create a resilient ecosystem where nature is honored and supported by modern technology. The result is not only a sustainable approach to wine production, but also the production of top-quality olive oil, honey and grains.

Synergy between man and nature

Podere Forte is distinguished by a deep respect for the environment. The estate operates completely self-sufficiently: compost is produced internally, the vineyards use native yeast, and soil fertility is enhanced by natural fertilization and rotation with ancient grains. The biodynamic approach encourages biodiversity, focusing on the interaction between soil, plants and animals.

Modern techniques

What makes Podere Forte unique is the balance between ancient Tuscan farming traditions and innovative technology. With precision instruments, the domain monitors soil health, while drones and data analytics are used to continuously improve agricultural practices. This blend of tradition and innovation allows the estate to deliver exceptional products without compromising on nature.
