Doc Cortona Syrah

Syrah Baracchi: The full-bodied soul of Cortona

Imagine for a moment the gentleness of the Tuscan hills, bathed in sunshine, where the wind carries the scents of the earth. It is there that Baracchi's Syrah DOC takes root, a wine that, from the very first sip, transports you to the heart of this authentic Tuscany that I love so much.

The terroir of Cortona, a jewel case for Syrah

This wine is the fruit of the Baracchi estate, nestled in the Cortona region, more precisely in the localities of San Martino, Gabbiano, Pietraia, Montanare and Valecchie. Here, Syrah, the sole grape variety of this cuvée, finds an ideal terrain for expression. The Baracchi estate, with its history and expertise, manages to capture the essence of this terroir in every bottle, offering a wine that speaks of its origin with remarkable clarity.

From the moment of opening, this Syrah reveals a compact ruby color, a promise of beautiful density. On the nose, you will be charmed by intense aromas of ripe red fruits, such as maraschino cherry and wild berries, enhanced by notes of black pepper and cloves. On the palate, it reveals a supple and flavorful texture, where the tannins, although present, are perfectly integrated, offering a sensation of roundness. The balanced acidity ensures a smooth and pleasant tasting, leaving you with the impression of a genuine wine, without artifice.

At the table with Baracchi's Syrah

This Syrah is an ideal companion for many dishes. I particularly recommend it with roasts of red meats, where its structure can fully express itself. It will also pair wonderfully with flavorful first courses and more robust second courses. Think of pasta with rich sauces, summer grills, or even medium-aged cheeses. For an optimal experience, serve it slightly chilled, in large glasses that will allow its aromas to fully blossom. Don't hesitate to open the bottle a little before tasting it to appreciate all its complexity.
