Delicious, Plush & Velvety!
The plush and velvety texture, bright acidity, fine tannins, and firm structure make this a beautiful wine to enjoy now, or age in your cellar. Pairs well with blue cheese, wild mushroom risotto, slow-roasted pork with creamy herb sauce, garlic-crusted rack of lamb, and grilled steaks with chimichurri sauce.
Why We Love This Wine
With a graceful balance of dark fruit and subtle oak, and embodies the heart of Sonoma. This iconic wine has been a staple for Michael Muscardini going back to 2008, when the very first vintage was released. Fortuna, meaning ‘Good Fortune’ in Italian, is a simple reminder to everyone in the Muscardini Cellars family that they are surrounded by good fortune on a daily basis.

Gold Medal
Light pink in color with aromas of watermelon, cranberry, orange rind, and fresh spring flowers that leap from the glass. The palate offers more peach, strawberry, and melon, with an intriguing note of rose and hibiscus. It's crisp with just the perfect hint of red fruit, and delicate whisper of strawberry that gives goosebumps.
