About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
Syrah is cultivated on the hills of Sambuca di Sicilia, with good sun exposure and fresh limestone-and-clay soils. Nearby Lake Arancio helps supply water and nutrients through dry periods, contributing to the grapes’ spicy and fruity character.
Grapes
Syrah.
Vinification
The grapes are pressed lightly to avoid green tannins. Controlled-temperature maceration lasts approximately 10–12 days, with the must pumped over every four hours. Vinification and ageing take place in stainless-steel tanks.
Tasting profile
Ruby red with crimson highlights. Aromas of red fruit are joined by fresh balsamic notes. Full-bodied, with vivid tannins and a fresh finish.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 16–18°C with red meat, barbecued or grilled meat, game birds and mature cheeses.
