Tasting Notes

This Cortona DOC captures the distinctive personality of Tuscany terroir. At 15% alcohol, it delivers real concentration and power on the palate. Crafted from Syrah 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. The palate shows depth and structure, with a finish that lingers pleasantly. The fruit is sourced from vineyards vines bred on soils of "galestro" marl and clayey shales, marls and fine sandstones with quartz and limestone. Vinification: the grapes are de-stemmed and undergo an extremely soft crushing and then carry out an alcoholic fermentation by indigenous yeasts in steel tanks at a controlled temperature, with maceration of the skins for about 3 weeks. The wine is aged 24 months in french oak barrels. A wine capturing the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany in every glass.
