Cantina Podere Fortuna is a small company situated between the hills of Mugello, on the side of the Tuscan–Emilian Apennines. The climate in this area is unique with a terroir suited to the production of fine Tuscan wines. Pinot Nero IGT Fortuni follows the company philosophy: organic style, fermentation in temperature-controlled truncated conical vats from 18 to 25 days and aged in lightly toasted oak barriques for one year. Resting the wine in concrete after ageing allows it to become clearer and stabilised, through natural means. Fortuni, which in turn has the same name as the vineyard cultivated on the right side of the hill, is particular in that it has older vines, and therefore has a distinct imprint. Pinot Nero Fortuni has a deep, brilliant, bright, ruby red colour, notes of cherry and currants on the nose, and silky but well integrated tannins which accompany a long and pleasant finish on the palate. An ideal wine to accompany succulent, flavoursome dishes and slow-cooked red meats: perfect for drinking with friends on a cold winter’s night.
