ForteMasso is a contemporary winery located in the heart of the Langhe region in Piedmont, Italy. Established with a vision to produce high-quality wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the area, ForteMasso combines modern winemaking techniques with a deep respect for tradition. The estate focuses on producing wines from indigenous grape varieties, aiming to showcase the authenticity and richness of the region's viticultural heritage.
Nestled within the prestigious Barolo appellation, ForteMasso benefits from the region's rolling hills and diverse microclimates. The Langhe area is renowned for its production of Nebbiolo-based wines, which are celebrated for their complexity and aging potential. The region's climate, characterized by warm summers and cool autumns, allows for the slow ripening of grapes, contributing to the development of nuanced flavors and aromas.
The vineyards at ForteMasso are planted on a mix of calcareous clay and marl soils, providing excellent drainage and mineral content. These soil characteristics, combined with careful vineyard management, result in wines that are structured, balanced, and reflective of their terroir. The estate's commitment to sustainable farming practices ensures the health and longevity of the vineyards, allowing for the production of wines that truly express the essence of the Langhe region.
