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.
