Description

2019 Fortuni Pinot Nero Toscana IGT

by Tenuta Cafaggiolo is crafted entirely from 100% Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir), grown on sun-kissed southeast‑facing slopes at 250 m elevation in Tuscany. The bouquet is seductive and expressive—ripe cherry, wild raspberry, and crushed blueberry mingle with hints of balsamic spice, rose petal, and subtle forest floor tonality. On the palate, it offers a refined, silky texture paired with juicy red fruit, a whisper of vanilla‑spice, and elegant, well-integrated tannins. Vibrant acidity lifts the mid‑palate and keeps the finish fresh and lingering. Aged for 12 months in French oak barriques (half new, half used) followed by 3–6 months in cement vats, then 12–24 months of bottle aging, Fortuni strikes a graceful balance between structure and finesse. This wine is a superb match for grilled red meats, game, hearty first courses (especially tomato‑based pastas), or mature hard cheeses. At a slightly cooler serving temperature, it even pairs beautifully with grilled octopus or tuna. Nestled in the historic lands once owned by the Medici family, Tenuta Cafaggiolo embraces a rich heritage and respect for terroir. Their Fortuni bottling is vinified with native yeasts and minimal intervention, honoring tradition while delivering a Pinot Nero of rare elegance and sense of place.

The Story

expand_more

Domaine Tenuta Cafaggiolo—also known as “Cafaggiolo Terre dei Medici”—is a historic Tuscan estate in Mugello, about 25 km north of Florence, on land long held by the Medici family. Winemaking here dates back to 1465, and the estate now cultivates primarily organic Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) along with small amounts of Chardonnay and rosé, using natural yeast fermentation, aging in small barrels, and no filtration to preserve aromatics and terroir expression. Their portfolio includes elegant single‑varietal wines such as Averardo, Fortuni, and Pater Patriae (all 100 % Pinot Nero) and a white wine named Elettrice (100 % Chardonnay), each inspired by Medici history and legends, bottled under striking linocut‑style labels reflecting those connections.
