The enological experience is elevated with every sip of Fortana BIO, a vinicultural gem from the sandy lands of Bosco Eliceo, nurtured by the historic Mattarelli company. Certified as a Controlled Designation of Origin (DOC), this organic wine is a specimen that strictly respects the environment and the principles of organic farming.

The Fortana, a native vine rich in history, produces a wine with a deep ruby red color, with shades that recall garnet. Its grapes, grown on particularly favorable terrain for organic viticulture, are manually harvested to ensure the utmost integrity of the fruit.

On the nose, Fortana BIO reveals a delicate yet pronounced aroma, with notes of berries and a slight spiciness that arouses curiosity. The influence of the Bosco Eliceo terroir enriches the bouquet with subtle hints of earthiness and minerality, distinctive characteristics that harmonize beautifully with organic practices.

On the palate, balance is the keyword. The captivating acidity is combined with well-present tannins that are never overbearing, followed by a flavorful persistence that invites reflection. Despite its robustness, the Fortana BIO maintains a surprising freshness, making it extremely pleasant and drinkable.

Ideal paired with traditional dishes from Romagna cuisine, like tagliatelle with game ragù or dishes featuring mushrooms and truffles, this wine stands out for its versatility and ability to enhance authentic flavors.

Chosen by sommeliers for its uniqueness and respectful production, the Fortana BIO by Mattarelli represents an excellent choice for those seeking an authentic wine experience that respects the ecosystem.
