Syrah Terre Siciliane IGP 2019

Intense and concentrated. This is how Syrah often appears. A red wine of French origin that here in Sicily, in the Belice Valley, seems to have found an ideal habitat. This IGP Terre Siciliane proposed by Siquelia proves it. It comes from grapes harvested when fully ripe and quickly delivered to the Partinico winery for processing. As is customary for the small Sicilian winery, the transformation is "super easy", without any special technical measures that could alter the qualitative potential of the original grapes. So, at the end of a transformation in steel tanks at controlled temperature, the wine is divided into two parts for the final refining phase. One part, about 75% remains in steel, the other is passed into 25 hectolitre French oak casks for about 8 months of maturation. The result is a wine characterised by a beautiful intense dark red colour, with fruity aromas of blueberries, berries and currants. Then spicy notes reminiscent of tobacco, pepper and even chocolate. In the mouth it confirms its nature as a structured, intense and tannic wine. A red wine with good character that undoubtedly requires a weighty pairing. Excellent, for example, with tasty meats such as venison and wild boar, but also with the most classic of grilled red meats or medium-aged cheeses.
