Fortana is a red wine grape that is primarily grown in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. It is also known as the "Lambrusco di Sorbara" grape, as it is one of the main varieties used in the production of Lambrusco wines.
Fortana grapes are known for their vibrant acidity and bright red fruit flavors. They produce wines that are light-bodied and refreshing, with notes of cherry, raspberry, and violet. The grape's natural acidity makes it a perfect choice for sparkling wines, and it is often used in the production of frizzante and spumante styles of Lambrusco.
In addition to Italy, Fortana is also grown in small quantities in other regions such as Argentina and the United States. However, it is in Emilia-Romagna where the grape truly shines, as the region's unique climate and soil conditions contribute to the grape's distinctive flavors and characteristics.
