Tasting Notes
None
Blue grape mostly used in the Bosco Eliceo DOC where it can
be a varietal-wine, but is mostly used as a
blending-component. The grape can also be blended in
Lambrusco. Fortana is said to have it's origins from Piacenza
or Parma, but others claim it derives from Burgundy,
therefore it is also found under the name of Uva d'Oro.
Some claim Fortana is the same grape as the Brugnola, which
are used as a blending-component in Valtellina DOC.
