Fortissimo is an intense and deeply concentrated, full-bodied blend of Touriga Nacional (Portugal’s flagship grape), Syrah, inky-dark Petit Verdot and Alicante Bouschet.
It hails from Casa Santos Lima, a winery that's been at the forefront of Portugal’s wine revolution and has earned heaps of praise (the world’s third-most acclaimed estate, according to the World Ranking of Wine & Spirits), and the hugely talented Vasco Martins.
They’ve crafted one acclaimed blockbuster red after the next—and, as the name suggests, Fortissimo just might be their strongest release yet.
Fortissimo overflows with remarkably concentrated, ripe, black-fruit flavors plus elegant spice notes, thanks to seven months of barrel aging. It’s sure to stand up to all your char-grilled favorites and hearty meals.
Casa Santos Lima’s flavor-packed reds are big favorites, so we suggest you move fast to secure your share.
