Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in Tuscany, far off the beaten path, where the vine clings to sun-drenched hills. It is in this setting that I discovered the Syrah Riserva from the Baracchi estate, a wine that whispers the story of its terroir with every sip.
The Baracchi estate, nestled in the Montagna Cortonese, is a true gem. Here, Syrah, a grape variety often associated with other regions, reveals a unique and deep personality. This wine is the fruit of careful winemaking: fermentation in steel tanks, followed by maceration for about 30 days to extract all the richness of aromas and colors. It is this process that gives the Syrah Riserva its structure and character.
When you pour this Syrah Riserva, you are immediately struck by its intense ruby color, punctuated with purplish highlights. On the nose, a symphony of ripe red and black fruits presents itself to you: amarena cherry, wild berries, blackberry, plum. But what makes it truly captivating are the spicy notes of pepper, juniper, clove, violet, and even touches of chocolate and tobacco that add complexity to the whole. On the palate, it unfolds a full body, with structured yet perfectly integrated tannins. The savory texture accompanies the taste progression, offering a clean finish with beautiful persistence, where the balance between fruit and spices is maintained without excess.
This Syrah Riserva is an ideal companion for convivial meals. I particularly recommend it with characterful dishes: red meats, roasts, and game will find in it a formidable ally. It also pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses and savory preparations based on mushrooms or rich sauces. Serve it in a large glass, at a slightly cool temperature (between 16 and 18 °C), so that it can fully express all its aromas and structure. It is an invitation to savor Tuscany differently, through a wine with character and a pleasant intensity.
