Beyond the Label

Casa Santos Lima has been at the forefront of Portugal’s wine revolution and earned heaps of praise along the way (the world’s third-most acclaimed estate, according to the World Ranking of Wine & Spirits). They’ve crafted one acclaimed blockbuster red after the next—and, as the name suggests, Fortissimo just might be their strongest release yet. Judges at three international competitions have awarded Fortissimo a gold medal.

It’s crafted by the hugely talented Diogo Sepúlveda—who’s worked at prestigious estates in Pomerol, Napa Valley, and 5-Star James Halliday-rated Turkey Flat Vineyards in Australia’s Barossa Valley. For his latest release, Diogo blended ultra-rich Cabernet and dark Syrah with bold-fruited Touriga Nacional, Portugal’s flagship grape.

Fortissimo overflows with remarkably juicy, black-fruit flavors and is silky-smooth, thanks to 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 Fortissimo.
