Cortona DOC Syrah

Italy
Tuscany
2023

100% Syrah, a portion of which are partially de-stemmed, while some are left whole and still others are lightly foot pressed. Fermentation occurs spontaneously in small concrete vats and without the use of pumps, sulfur or temperature control.  The wine is then allowed to clarify naturally and is moved to various vessels for aging (mostly concrete and Clayver ceramic orbs, but a small portion does go into large oak casks).

"Depths of licorice and lavender complicate crushed blackberries as the 2023 Syrah blossoms in the glass. It is silken upon entry, gaining tension as tart wild berry fruits and crisp mineral tones saturate the palate, all offset by a subtle tinge of candied citrus. The 2023 finishes with staining length yet remains energetic, leaving a sour cherry resonance that lingers long."
