Description
Bortolusso’s winery is unique; the soils border the lagoon and the vines sink their roots in a mixture of brackish land, giving the wines a unique, characteristic saline flavor.
Franconia is our name for Blaufränkisch, a grape known for its dark berry flavors and medium tannin. An easy-going wine that will pair with just about any meal.
