The Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004, encircles the Podere Forte. 

The estate was founded in 1997 by Pasquale Forte, a visionary entrepreneur who has created a balanced system where every element complements the others, following the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture. 

The old concept of the corte romana has been recreated on the 500 ha estate: a place where people, plants and animals coexist in harmony and sustainable self-sufficiency.

 A celebration of biodiversity.

“We work the fields as they did 2,000 years ago, but in the winery we’re 200 years ahead,” says Pasquale Forte, who has revived the peasant winemaking traditions of the Val d’Orcia. Advanced techniques and precision agriculture have transformed the landscape, bringing prestige and creating quality products.
