Unfortunately, these two wines from Podere Forte have not gained much since I taste them last year. If anything, the wines are a bit more problematic today than they were back then. Over the last several years, Podere Forte has produced a number of top-notch wines. Sadly, the 2012s off the mark.

These current releases from Podere Forte are perplexing. I tasted the wines on two separate occasions and found the wines very ripe, oaky and lacking in varietal character. The Podere Forte wines have always been rich and intense, but in 2012, the visceral thrill of the best years is missing. Also tasted: 2013 Petruccino.
