Tasting notes
This wine was created with the idea of making wine exclusively using an international grape such as Syrah, which is usually used for mixing with other wines. And in a region where it is quite uncommon to find this sort of wine.
In 2001 we decided to remove a small part of the Barbera vines in one of our most exclusive vineyards and plant Syrah vines; this is our niche product and roughly 2,000 bottles are produced. Later, from 2008, we began producing exclusively Syrah.
It is great for accompanying meat dishes and stews but it can also be fully enjoyed on its own, for example in an evening lounge bar. 1,5 liter bottles are also produced in limited quantities.
Color: deep ruby red with purple reflections
Bouquet: typically enhanced by spicy notes
Taste: soft, round and full-bodied and spices can be found in the olfactory sensations
