Country: Italy
Year: 2008

Winery Review:  A wine that reveals considerable richness and depth while maintaining a pure, crystalline quality in its dark, varietal fruit.  This is 40% Syrah, 30% Cabernet Franc and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 6 month in used French oak barrels. - Vintage Wine Cellar 02/23/2013
My Review:  This ruby red wine has an aroma of red, fruit punch candy.  Though Fortediga has a warm syrupy aspect to it, the wine is light on the tongue.  I enjoyed this wine; it was warm with a nice body, but not overly acidic.  
 
Food: I did not try this wine with food.
