"Molino a Vento" Syrah IGP 2021

When it comes to wine, Sicily is not just a region. Due to its vastness and variability, it is more like a continent. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of indigenous grape varieties, that is, typical only to this region. But also large plots of land cultivated with international varieties that here, thanks to an incredible climate and a great variety of soils, generally succeed in producing wines of great quality. Like this Molino a Vento Syrah IGP proposed by Tenute Orestiadi, which is characterized by being fresh, young and full of energy. It is the result of a simple and accurate processing that begins with a maceration phase that lasts for about two weeks. The refinement that follows fermentation takes place in steel tanks and is completed, just before bottling, with a quick passage in wood for 2/4 months. The result is a wine characterized by the typical intense ruby red colour, with obvious violet hues. On the nose, hints of violets and currants, with hints of liquorice and the inevitable black pepper that distinguishes every good Syrah in purity. In the mouth, finally, it is soft and has beautiful harmonious and well-integrated tannins. The finish is pleasantly toasty and spicy. Let's put it to the test next to particularly tasty and delicious dishes such as a tempting carbonara.
