Appassionata Estate started as a passion project for the acclaimed German winemaker Ernst Loosen. Driven by his lifelong love for the world’s great Pinot Noirs, Erni was drawn to Oregon nearly thirty years ago. Through numerous visits, during which he collected wines and made lasting friendships, he recognised the unique potential of the Willamette Valley. The 2013 Fortissimo is a full-bodied wine of great depth and concentration, with a long, satisfying finish. It can be enjoyed now for its youthful vigour but also has the potential to age gracefully.
