presentation of wines from PODERE FORTE in Moscow

Thus, on 25 November this year in the restaurant "Governor" took a mini-presentation of Tuscan wines by company " poderi FORTE " ( PODERE FORTE ). The presentation was conducted by the head of the house Pasquale Forte along with his young enologist Christian Cattaneo . Was represented by 3 wines, wine all different and all are different (see below). All the action took place in a cozy restaurant "Governor" was prglashennyh a little bit and it allowed me to ask questions (on the characteristics of wines to personal preference lady Forte). And this economy does not produce only first-class wine (produced in accordance with the rules as I loved Biodynamics), but equally, ORGANIC (eskie) nye - olive oil, honey, ham.
