Sounds very plausible to me. I've had that happen with many many kits if they are fermented at a reasonable temp (I target 74F).Let me know what you think.
I went through primary fermentation in 7-8 days. Racked into carboy.
* I had to top off with 2.5 bottles of wine.
* There is no indication of fermentation.
Just wondering, what was your initial and last SG reading? I suppose that fermentation could be complete but that would be really fast. You may be stuck.

The 2.5 bottle top off is a reflection of the carboy used. You probably have an Itlaian 6 USG carboy. Also may reflect the markings on your primary fermenter. Did you measure 23 litres or 6 USG yourself or accept a pre-printed marking?

It been hot here and the house was never lower than 76 degrees. its a 6 gal italian which i dont like. I have the primary fermetation marked at 6 gal. i have another 6 gal US carboy and I never had this issue. Ais there a difference between the two?
it was 1.090 in begining and at the end of primary fermentation it was .995

Anodari, there is a difference of about a half gallon, 6.5 for the Italian and 6 for the "US" which is probably made in Mexico.
To your original question, it sounds like your fermentation is complete. I have made several batches of Rosso Fortissimo and have never been disappointed.
I guess we're extra generous. 6.5 gallons is clearly better than 6. Have you ever seen a small plate of pasta? HahahaWhats up with the italians? ah 6.5, thats close
True 6 US gallon carboys have not been made in 3 or 4 years.Rocky, thank you. I am having hard time finding 6 gal glass carboys. I am a bit annoyd the guy sold me the 6 gal and didnt tell me that. Whats up with the italians? ah 6.5, thats close
