Syrah
Terre siciliane
Indicazione Geografica Protetta
rosso
An international red with a Sicilian soul.
The Syrah is born from the selected harvesting of the grapes. The must is placed in steel containers where alcoholic fermentation on skins begins for about 15 days at a controlled temperature between 25 and 28°C. The wine obtained is then transferred into steel containers where spontaneous malolactic fermentation and the ageing phase begin.
In steel for four months followed by at least two months’ bottle-ageing.
Among the green hills of Western Sicily, a few kilometres from the ancient Norman town of Monreale, the Di Lorenzo family cultivates the allochthonous grape variety which has best adapted to the estate’s microclimate, Syrah. The selected harvesting of the grapes produces an intense wine with strong purplish highlights, with hints of cherry and raspberry, full and persistent in the mouth.
A structured red which pairs well with main courses featuring red meat, such as roasts and game, and risottos.
