Refined and profound, this Syrah from Stefano Amerighi combines intense dark fruit with smoky and spicy notes, carried by fresh acidity and silky tannins.
The Syrah Cortona 2022 from Stefano Amerighi represents the fullest expression of this variety in Tuscany, and has become over successive vintages an absolute reference for Italian Syrah.
Based in Cortona, in south-east Tuscany, Stefano Amerighi made the radical choice to work exclusively with Syrah, convinced of its natural affinity with these clay-limestone terroirs rich in galestro, sun-bathed and tempered by altitude and continental influences. The domaine is farmed biodynamically, with meticulous soil work and a restrained approach in the cellar.
Grapes are picked at full ripeness, then vinified without additives, with spontaneous fermentations and gentle extractions. Ageing takes place mainly in large wooden vessels and used barrels, preserving the identity of the fruit and the terroir's expression without heavy oak influence.
The 2022 vintage offers a profound and refined Syrah, marked by ripe dark fruit aromas, black olive, pepper, violet and smoky notes. The palate is dense yet perfectly balanced, with silky texture, fine tannins and remarkable freshness that extends the finish on spiced and mineral accents.
A serious food wine, serve with roasted or grilled meats, herbed lamb, game or Mediterranean cuisine with bold flavours. It can be enjoyed today after aeration, but will gain complexity over 8 to 12 years of ageing.
