Fortediga 2008 Red (Maremma)
Cabernet and Syrah from southern Tuscany produce aromas of ripe fruit, cola, soft cherry and prune. There’s a spicy, earthy, leathery note as well with smooth tannins on the close.

Fortediga 2007 Trama Vendemmia Tardiva Traminer (Maremma)
A late-harvest wine made with aromatic Traminer grapes, Trama opens with a dark brown or copper color and musky aromas of dried hay, candied fruit, apricot, candied orange peel and lemon drops. The sweet, syrupy mouthfeel is washed clean by crisp acidity.
