Fortana nera is an autochthonous red wine variety from Italy . Their cultivation was first mentioned in writing in the 17th century in the province of Ferrara in the Emilia-Romagna region . Its cultivation is recommended in the provinces of Cremona , Mantua and Sondrio of the Lombardy region, as well as the metropolitan city of Bologna and the provinces of Ferrara , Parma and Ravenna of the Emilia-Romagna region. It is also approved in the provinces of Modena , Piacenza and Reggio Emilia . There are currently around 2,180 hectares planted with the Fortana variety in Italy . The very late ripening variety is of moderate growth and delivers good yields. It is hardly susceptible to vine diseases and can therefore survive in the humid climate of the Po Valley. The must results in very rustic, sour red wines with strong tannins . The wines find their way into the DOC wine Bosco Eliceo .
The Fortana variety was mistakenly confused with the Raboso Veronese grape variety , with which it is, however, not identical. Allegedly it comes from the Côte d´Or in Burgundy , which is indicated by the synonyms Costa d'Oro , Uva d'Oro and Uva Francese Nera . It should originally be from Renate of France (* 1510, † 1575), daughter of the French King Louis XII. and wife of Duke Ercole II. d'Este , imported into the Duchy of the Este family and grown near the castle of Mesola next to the extensive holm oak forest ( Bosco Eliceo ) that existed there .
There is also a white variety called Fortana Bianca .
