Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you to discover a gem of Tuscany, a wine that embodies power and elegance. This Cortona DOC Syrah from La Braccesca is a true expression of the terroir, offering an unforgettable sensory experience. Let me guide you through this exploration.
We are here in the Val di Chiana, in the heart of Tuscany, a region where the La Braccesca estate, owned by the Antinori family, has been able to uncover the exceptional potential of Syrah. It is on these lands that this grape variety, originating from the Rhône Valley, has found a second home, flourishing to produce wines of remarkable intensity. This 2022 Syrah is the fruit of careful winemaking: after destemming, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at 28°C, followed by a fifteen-day maceration. The wine is then aged for about twelve months in wood, which gives it its complexity and structure.
From the very first glance, you will be charmed by its intense color. On the nose, this Syrah reveals a rich and harmonious bouquet, with deep notes of cherry, blackberry, and plum. You will also perceive spicy accents of pepper and licorice, complemented by a delicate touch of vanilla and violet. On the palate, it reveals an enveloping structure, present yet perfectly integrated tannins, and a balanced freshness that extends the pleasure of tasting. It is a wine that, despite its richness, maintains a clean and restrained aromatic framework.
This Cortona DOC Syrah is the ideal partner for moments of sharing and convivial meals. I particularly recommend it with red meats, game, roasts, or aged cheeses. It will also pair wonderfully with mushroom-based dishes. Serve it at a moderate temperature, between 16 and 18°C, to fully appreciate all its nuances. It is a wine that, through its personality, will enhance your dishes and enrich your evenings.
