La Fortezza sits in Toscana, the heart of central Italy's wine country. The winery produces Aglianico, a southern Italian grape known for its dark fruit, structure, and aging potential. Though Aglianico thrives primarily in Campania and Basilicata, its appearance here reflects the broader Italian tradition of regional experimentation and varietal expression. La Fortezza's Aglianico has drawn assessment from major critics including Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate, positioning the wine within serious critical discourse. The wine's profile—marked by the grape's characteristic tannin grip and depth—appeals to those seeking Italian reds with substance and complexity.
