“Pian di Nova” Rosso Toscana IGT 2018 (BIO)
Medium ruby red. On the nose, a note of violets with delicate hints of vanilla. On the palate, powerful, fresh and very precise with a dominant fruit and lots of energy. Then a fine spiciness in the medium-long finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"A really beautiful, fine red with black cherries, minerals and light wet earth. Medium body with slightly chewy tannins and a vivid finish. It’s linear and long. Lots of blue fruit and hints of minerals." James Suckling

“Maroccoli” Syrah Sicilia Menfi DOC 2017
Fresh, bright ruby. The Syrah convinces with its intense and ripe bouquet with hints of figs, red currants, pickled cherries, blueberries, spices and vanilla. Velvety, noble tannins accompany the opulent and lively structure until the lingering final. SUPERIORE.DE
"Dark shining ruby with delicate violet. In the nose expressive, of many ripe black berries, toast, noble wood, after some time blackberry and black currant, reverberating with mint. Lush on the palate with tight tannin, stretches out on clear, fresh fruit, interwoven, substantial, clinging and long, great Syrah." Falstaff
"The Planeta 2017 Menfi Syrah Maroccoli delivers the rich intensity and sweetness of the grape and its sunny Sicilian DNA. This is a plush and loose-knit red wine with plenty of dark fruit, spice, tar and barbecue smoke. The main themes here underline the sweetness and natural succulence of the grape. This release of about 30,000 bottles marks a great opportunity to serve up some Sicilian veal rolls stuffed with breadcrumbs and perfumed with laurel leaf. If you love Syrah, this is a worthwhile taste of Sicily." Robert Parker

“Achilles” Syrah Sicilia Noto DOC 2017
The new red from Zisola is a 100% Syrah in radiant ruby violet. Spicy bouquet with notes of black cherry, cassis, undergrowth and foliage. Juicy, engaging and balsamic on the palate, with prominent tannins and interesting acidity. Subtle hints of cocoa and smoked bacon on the long finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Strong ruby red. In the nose of lush raspberries and wild berries, delicate plum, minimal pepper spice, a hint of milk chocolate in the aftertaste. On the palate dense and with grip, juicy and clear on the tongue, exciting course, lingers long." Falstaff
"A relatively new wine, the Zisola 2017 Sicilia Achilles is a pure expression of Syrah. This grape normally delivers especially rich and abundant wines from Sicily; however, this bottle holds back a bit in terms of intensity and concentration. The results are solidly mid-weight, and the wine reveals easy perfumes of dark cherry, cassis, spice and earthy leather. This vintage shows extra roundness and a supple quality to the fruit." Robert Parker
"The 2017 Syrah Achilles captivates the senses with a beguiling bouquet that mixes black fruits, smoke and pepper with sweet violet and lavender notes. It’s silky and round in feel, balanced by a concentration of tart wild berries, savory herbs and a bitter touch of mocha toward the close. There’s a combination of decadence and contrasting sour citrus tension here that I find quite pleasurable, as the Achilles finishes lightly structured and persistent under an air of tar and tobacco. Nicely done." Vinous

“Amore e Follia” Rosso Toscana IGT 2019
Don't expect the typical Syrah, because this wine will surprise you with its liveliness and freshness, although it has the spiciness and drinkability typical of Syrah. The name (Love and Madness) expresses all the love for this grape, but also the courage to grow it in the Montalcino area. Despite its unusualness, this wine is a real crowd pleaser and one of the winery's trademarks.
Deep ruby red with violet reflections, on the nose black fruits, forest floor, pine wood with a hint of white rose and jasmine. On the palate, a distinct texture with well-integrated tannins, paired with a great minerality, a delicate bitter note in the respectable aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE
"Lots of bright, very ripe red-berry character to this medium-bodied red with a light but firm tannin framework to the palate. But the fresh fruit pushes through to the end. Turns savory just at the end. Needs a year for better overall integration." James Suckling
"Complex and intense aromas of dark forest fruits, sweet cherries and tea leaves. Elegant, with a firm slightly grainy tannic structure and leathery finish." Decanter

“La Tour” Syrah Valle d’Aosta DOP 2018
On the nose, ripe dark fruits, sweet spices and toasted oak. On the full palate, the character, terroir and elegance of the Les Cretes style are on full display, especially in the refined way tannins and fruit form a symbiosis. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2018 Syrah Las Tour really holds your attention firm with its dark and spicy bouquet, as hints of clove and smoke give way to red currants and dusty rose. Its silky textures coast along a contrasting core of saline-minerals, leaving pepper-tinged wild berries and supple tannins in their wake. While lightly-structured, there’s already so much pleasure to be found here, as the 2019 fades with nuances of bitter blackberry." Vinous

“Cassiopea Pagus Cerbaia” Rosato Bolgheri DOC 2017
Pagus Cerbaia refers to a prime small plot of sedimentary soils. This is where the small quantities of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon come from, which are partially fermented in amphorae and oak barrels after the harvest. Bottled in only a few hundred bottles, the "Selection Rosato" offers an intense floral aroma and beguiles the palate in a lively, cheerful way with a lingering spicy note and a wonderfully complex finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"This is very layered and beautiful with sliced-strawberry, lemon and peach character. Medium-bodied, it shows finesse and balance with beautiful fruit and focus. Crisp and dry. Fermented 50 per cent in barrel and 50 per cent in amphora." James Suckling

“Maharis” Syrah Sicilia DOC 2018
Deep dark, sparkling ruby red. On the nose, an opulent dark red fruit basket, intense and full. Already in the first sip, a depth that is unparalleled in this price range. The heights to which this wine is capable of carrying the connoisseur are nothing short of spectacular. At the same time, it always convinces with an indescribable balance. Maharis is never fat or jammy, but its potpourri of dark fruits, spices, matured leather and a subtle smoky note is always balanced with a surprising freshness and liveliness. The final is long, velvety and richly textured. Great! SUPERIORE.DE
"Dark shining ruby red. In the nose very spicy, slightly animal, in the aftertaste of ripe and rich cherries, repeatedly pepper-spicy. On the palate then with clear and radiant fruit underpinned by fine spice, shows grippy tannin, juicy, slightly salty on the final, remains sturdy and long on the palate." Falstaff
"The 2017 Syrah Maharis hails from the calcareous soils of the Val di Noto. Here I’m finding a dramatic display of crushed blackberry, smoke and wild herbs, further evolving to show hints of plum and dark chocolate. It's silky in texture yet immediately firmed up with a display of tart black fruit accompanied by an orange zest twang, savory spice and zesty acids. Youthful, fine tannins saturate, creating a grippy and poised finale with inner violet florals and hints of licorice slowly tapering off." Vinous
"With fruit from alberello vines at just 80 meters above the Mediterranean Sea level, the Feudo Maccari 2018 Sicilia Syrah Mahâris lavishes on thick, sweet and super ripe aromas of black fruit and spice. The wine carries a great deal of fruit weight and concentration, with abundant ripeness that renders a soft and rich approach to the palate. Sicily and Syrah always make a great combination, and this wine offers a good representation of that natural symbiosis." Robert Parker
"Lots of blackberries and savory oregano on the nose and palate with meat and hints of sour cherries. It’s full-bodied, tightly structured, racy and long. Polished and delicious now. Drink and enjoy." James Suckling

“SI” Syrah Rosato Costa Toscana IGP 2020 (BIO)
This unfiltered Rosato, vinified in 300-litre amphorae, is the result of the strictest selection of Syrah grapes from the winery. The spontaneously fermented and Demeter-certified result is just 4,000 bottles, which are sold in selected specialist shops and restaurants. Beguiling, intense bouquet of pink grapefruit, raspberry and cranberry. Taut, juicy and lively on the palate - a perfect harmony of expression, freshness and body. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright old pink. In the nose of lush strawberry and cherry, light spice, clearly floral components, blueberries, also light tomato scent. On the palate clear, fruity-sweet and elegant, spreads nicely over the tongue, with great acidity and polished fruit." Falstaff
"The 2020 Costa Tuscan Si is sweetly floral, showing honeydew melon, hints of blood orange and candied ginger. It’s round in feel, with stunning inner floral perfumes that give way to a vivid note of ripe apricot. this does its job well, leaving the mouth watering under a flourish of inner rose. The Si is a highly pleasurable and balanced Syrah Rosato from the Tuscan coast." Vinous
"The Duemani 2020 Sì is a Syrah-based rosé that has been fermented in amphorae. The type of clay used here is white in color and comes from quarries in Trentino, in the far north of Italy. The tight density of the clay and long kiln baking times make these vessels anaerobic, almost like a stainless steel vat. As a result, this wine is sharp and pristine, with tight aromas of white cherry, cassis and crushed stone. There is a lot of energy and acidic nerve in this easy-drinking Tuscan rosé." Robert Parker
"This has a pale rose-gold color with aromas of flowers, strawberries and chalk. It’s medium-bodied with a creamy, rounded texture. Excellent balance." James Suckling

“Case Via” Syrah IGT 2017 (BIO)
Strong dark ruby. Pepper and spice accents, aromas of ripe red and dark fruits and a slightly animal note characterise the precise aroma. The perfect balance between tannin, silky elements and the acidity guarantee a characterful and pithy taste. SUPERIORE.DE
"Deep dark ruby violet. Exuberant nose with rich notes of elderberry and blueberry, some green pepper in the background. Firm and gripping on the palate, spreads out richly, dense tannin, lots of spice, subtle coconut notes on the final." Falstaff
"The 2017 Syrah Case Via is dark, ample and enveloping. Blackberry, chocolate, leather, licorice and spice infuse the 2017 with striking intensity to match its plush, textured feel. The Fontodi Syrah is done in a style that emphasizes fruit and overall richness more than savoriness or minerality." Vinous
"This is a fascinating expression of Syrah that does not fit into our preconceived expectations of the grape, whether from the Old World or the New. The Fontodi 2017 Syrah Case Via opens to a rich, inky dark appearance. I got a sweet note of butterscotch or caramel at the start, but that subsided quickly to make room for black fruit, toasted wood, campfire ash and ripe plum. The wine is not exactly varietally pure, especially if you identify with the toasty Shiraz camp of Australia or the meaty, white peppercorn camp of the Rhône. Instead, this wine has a vaguely carbonic level of energy, zest and ripe primary fruit. The fruit is dark, bold, rich and Tuscan, with a direct and sunny personality." Robert Parker
"A rich, intense syrah with aromas and flavors of green tobacco, dried meat and rich fruit. It's full-bodied, yet tight and polished. Delicious at the end. Serious." James Suckling

“Case Via” Syrah IGT 2018 (BIO)
Strong dark ruby. Pepper and spice accents, aromas of ripe red and dark fruits and a slightly animal note characterise the precise aroma. The perfect balance between tannin, silky elements and the acidity guarantee a characterful and pithy taste. SUPERIORE.DE
"Dark ruby red with a drop of violet. In the nose still considerably reductive, needs a lot of time to come out of the glass, then notes of ripe plums and violets, delicate ink. On the palate very full-bodied, with dark fruit and lots of melting, spreads out richly, currently still very young, needs time." Falstaff
"The 2018 Syrah Case Via is ample and generous in the glass. Super-ripe blackberry, chocolate, spice, leather and cloves fill out the layers effortlessly. This deep, fleshy Syrah has much to offer. The 2018 was done with fully destemmed fruit and spent 18 months in French oak, 30% new." Vinous
"With a mere 3,000 bottles made, the organic Fontodi 2018 Syrah Case Via is ripe, concentrated and extremely savory in terms of its aromas. This vintage reveals loads of bacon fat and musky leather that you often get with Syrah in the warmest growing seasons. Chewing tobacco, riding boots, potting soil and dark fruit all rise heavily from the bouquet. There are two sides to the mouthfeel: Although it is moderate in length, the wine shows lots of soft texture on the mid-palate and closes quickly with a 15% alcohol content." Robert Parker
"Black fruit, soy sauce, spices and dried herbs on the nose. It’s full-bodied with firm tannins. Structured and racy. Juicy and smoky with a flavorful, tannic finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink in 2024 when the tannins will have softened slightly." James Suckling

“Maroccoli” Syrah Sicilia Menfi DOC 2015 · MAGNUM
Fresh, bright ruby. The Syrah convinces with its intense and ripe bouquet with hints of figs, red currants, pickled cherries, blueberries, spices and vanilla. Velvety, noble tannins accompany the opulent and lively structure until the lingering final. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2015 Syrah Maroccoli makes the case for Syrah grown on the southernmost tip of Sicily. This is dark, brooding and earthy in the glass, with notes of dark chocolate, peppery herbs and hints of tobacco. It leans more toward savory than sweet, as black fruits, exotic spices and minerals settle in. Grippy tannins slowly sneak in and clench the senses with youthful poise. Consider me a fan." Vinous
"The overlay of dried violets, lavender and spices works very well with the more overt vanilla and tar notes. Soft and plummy with ripe tannins and plenty of concentration, but there's a fine line of bright acidity within the texture." James Suckling
"Syrah and Sicily are two peas in a pod, and the 2015 Menfi Syrah Maroccoli affirms this fact with exuberant precision and charm. This wine is packed tight with dark fruit, tobacco, spice, bacon fat and even a touch of bitter chocolate. Both Syrah and Sicily love the sunshine and the summer heat, and luckily, both of these things were delivered with abundance in this happy vintage." Robert Parker

“Collezione Privata” Syrah Toscana IGT 2015
Great Syrah with extraordinary complex aromas like cassis, praline, exotic spices, black tea and clove. On the palate very dense, cleanly structured, delicious after ripe black fruits and with earthy notes. Velvety tannins and a long harmonious impression form the impressive finale. SUPERIORE.DE
"Syrah loves a warm vintage, and that's exactly what it gets here. The 2015 Syrah Collezione Privata is a full and generous expression that opens to dark fruit aromas backed by bitter chocolate, spice and smoked bacon. You can identify that Tuscan signature here, thanks to the chalky mineral notes that give this wine so much definition and focus. You do feel some ripeness here with jammy fruit favors followed by sweet tobacco and tar. The wine is rich and succulent in terms of mouthfeel. Some 5,000 wines were produced." Robert Parker
"A very animated syrah that opens with notes of crushed stones, soaked blueberries, fresh herbs, licorice, charcoal and citrus. Full-bodied and intense, but the freshness is undeniable as firm tannins intermingle with vibrant acidity. Primary fruit is quite predominant now, so give this time." James Suckling
"The 2015 Syrah is a total stunner. Bright, polished and impeccably nuanced, the 2015 is all class. Here, too, the purity of the flavors is simply remarkable. Today, the 2015 is quite primary and in need of at least several years in bottle to be at its very best, and yet all the ingredients are there for that to happen. A touch of whole clusters and drops of Viognier add an attractive floral upper register. Stated simply, the Syrah is a wine of precision and class. Only Paolo De Marchi can make Syrah of this level in Tuscany." Antonio Galloniread more- Grape Variety: 100% Syrah

Blackberry, lavender, spice and espresso all build in the glass. More than anything else, I am so struck by the wine's precision. The 2018 needs a number of years to be at its most expressive. The aromatics especially need to open. And yet all the elements are there. What a wine!" Vinous

“Ogrà" Syrah Lazio IGP 2015
Ogrà, named after the family's grandmother, is the result of many years of experimentation and experience with the interaction of microclimate and terroir on the best possible development of the Sarah grape. Finally, the family vineyard Castiglione in Teverina was chosen, from whose volcanic soils the grapes for the just 3,000 bottles of this rare exceptional Syrah come.
Concentrated, deep-dark bouquet of ripe fruits and spices. On the palate of beguiling texture, powerful, dense and very rich. The extract sweetness is well proportioned, with traces of pepper and campfire ash as the wine progresses. Ogra impresses until the long, unforgettable finish and is one of the most impressive Syrahs of central Italy. SUPERIORE.DE
"This is the second vintage of this new wine from the Cotarella family (as this wine was not made in 2014). The inaugural 2013 vintage is an absolute knockout, and the 2015 Syrah Ogrà follows closely in that success. Named after grandma Grazia, this pure expression of Syrah benefits from the cooler, semi-volcanic soils of Lazio, which add sharpness and focus to the overall aromatic presentation. This is an open and frank expression - just like the best interpretations of Syrah - always arewith abundant black fruit, spice, campfire ash and crushed peppercorn. This wine is opulent and bold with beautiful thickness and texture." Robert Parker

Limitation of 3 articles per customer“Tinata” Toscana IGT 2015
Black cherry red with a violet rim. On the nose, notes of spices such as ginger, cinnamon, dried coriander and vanilla bean, rounded off with fruit aromas of pomegranate, cherry and floral nuances such as geranium, lavender and rose. Fresh rose sugar and graphite on the palate; plus raspberry, cherry, fresh plum and cranberries. Long in the finish with a fine cassis note. SUPERIORE.DE
"Shiny ruby with violet. Opens with emphatic earthy notes, lightly of black truffle, then of pepper and cardamom, of ripe plum. Lots of clear and juicy fruit on the palate, after blueberries, fine-meshed, well-integrated tannin, firm pressure on the final." Falstaff
"This lovely wine offers rich texture and depth with medium to full-bodied layers of dark fruit. Black currant and summer cherry are followed by smoke, spice and chocolate. This warm vintage shows extra concentration and richness." Robert Parker
"Bright purple color in the glass. The nose offers tons of soaked blue fruit, such as blueberries. Lavender perfume, bay leaves, vanilla and cloves, too. Medium to full body with lots of essence-like fruit and a ton of floral and herbal flavors, which carry right through to the long yet mineral finish." James Suckling

“Tinata” Toscana IGT 2016
Black cherry red with a violet rim. In the nose notes of spices like ginger, cinnamon, dried coriander and vanilla bean, rounded off with fruit flavours of pomegranate, cherry and floral nuances like geranium, lavender and rose. Fresh rose sugar and graphite on the palate; plus raspberry, cherry, fresh plum and cranberries. Long in the finish with a fine cassis note. SUPERIORE.DE
"Plenty of fresh, crushed raspberries and currants with hints of wood. Medium to full body. Fine tannins and a clean finish." James Suckling
"Here’s a happy surprise from the Tuscan Coast and definitely one of the most memorable samples I tasted from this region this year. The 2016 Tinata is a beautifully balanced blend of Syrah and Grenache that hits all its proverbial nails on the head. I admire the fullness and generosity of the wine (that is never heavy), its depth and complexity (that is never banal) and its power (that is not overblown). You get the savory fullness of Syrah with black fruit, tobacco, smoke and spice and some of the vertical freshness of the Grenache. The tannins are softly textured to the point of being creamy. It gives me great joy to enthusiastically recommend this exciting wine from Monteverro." Robert Parker

“Keir” Syrah Toscana IGT 2018
Here comes the second vintage of Tua Rita's new wine from the Alta Maremma. Just 2,500 bottles of this 100% Syrah will be bottled, aged (on the skins) for half a year in amphorae, then filtered and matured in small French oak barrels.
Radiant ruby red. On the nose, a seductive mix of cherry with hints of chocolate, herbs and a subtle liquorice note. On the palate, cherry again, complemented by a kaleidoscope of chocolate, coffee and a subtle juniper note. A fabulous acid structure and fine-grained tannins guide the precisely composed wine into a furious final. Keir complements the winery's high-class portfolio in a very independent and emphatic way. Great! SUPERIORE.DE
"Sparkling ruby with brightening rim. Very clear and inviting note with hints of raspberry and clove, some Szechuan pepper, also spicy rosemary. Lots of present fruit, also lots of raspberry on the palate, firm tannin, grippy on the final." Falstaff
"The 2018 Keir very much stands out in this set of new releases from Tua Rita. A passion project and something of an intellectual challenge accepted mutually by Stefano Frascolla and Luca D'Attoma, this is Syrah fermented in Tuscan amphorae with six months of skin contact. This vintage is especially delicate and pure, and one important reason for this is the growing season that was extended by 15 days in this 2018 vintage. That extra time allowed the fruit to mature slowly according to its own time table. This is a luxury that is appreciated by Syrah in particular. The wine emerges with delicate, almost fragile aromas of wild rose, wet earth, violets and crushed black pepper. Syrah is very expressive of territory and vintage, and this wine speak of classic Tuscany. It is naked in its purity." Robert Parker
"The first vintage of Keir in 2016 signalled a new style of wine for Tua Rita: 100% Syrah fermented and macerated on the skins for six months in terracotta amphorae. This 2018 has mineral, gun-flinty aromas but with lively, pure flavours of brambles, smoke and liquorice. It has a beautifully elegant, gossamer palate with very fine-textured tannins." Decanter

“Keir” Syrah Toscana IGT 2019
Here comes the third vintage of Stefano Frascolla's heart project from the Alta Maremma. Just 2,500 bottles of this 100% Syrah are bottled, aged (on the skins) for half a year in amphorae, then filtered and matured in small French oak barrels.
Radiant ruby red. On the nose, a seductive mix of cherry with hints of chocolate, herbs and a subtle liquorice note. On the palate, cherry again, complemented by a kaleidoscope of chocolate, coffee and a subtle juniper note. A fabulous acid structure and fine-grained tannins guide the precisely composed wine into a furious final. Keir complements the winery's high-class portfolio in a very independent and emphatic way. Great! SUPERIORE.DE
"The green-tobacco and pepper character is very intense with blackberry and black-cherry undertones. Full-bodied and layered with soft tannins that are creamy and very pretty. A full yet soft-textured palate. Succulent and delicious." James Suckling
"A pure expression of Syrah that spends six months in amphorae, the Tua Rita 2019 Keir Rosso is a gregarious and super fun wine that is a joy to drink and a great conversation starter thanks to the crafty approach used in its winemaking. Long skin maceration times give the wine extra intensity. The tightly pored surface of the clay amphorae (that are fired in kilns at very hot temperatures and long durations) means that the wine gets less oxygen during winemaking. This contributes to its delicate and elegant flavors and ultimately to the promising longevity of this vintage. Keir is not as full-bodied as other Tuscan Syrahs, but the wine shows terrific purity and focus instead. The bouquet offers punchy black fruit, plum, tea leaf and savory tobacco." Robert Parker
"2019 is for Stefano Frascolla an exceptional vintage - one of the best vintages of the last two decades. Bright magenta in colour with an exuberant nose of vivid sweet blackcurrant, cream and spice, this has youthful raspberry, white pepper and flint flavours mixed with concentrated yet vibrant fruit. Impossible to resist, with a lovely weightless texture and harmony, it dances seamlessly across the palate and disappears with incredible lightness but lingering flavours. Syrah meets Burgundy!"

Syrah Toscana IGT 2015
Le Pupille has a new wine. A long cherished vision of Elisabetta and her daughter Clara finds its completion in this crescence. This 100% Syrah builds on everything that the winery has achieved in recent years and for which it has gained world renown. The best grapes, careful selection and a sensitive, clever and innovative winemaking combined with a clearly recognizable signature and the already proverbial quality fanaticism.
The grapes for the first vintage (2015) of this exceptional wine come from the two estate vineyards Pian di Fiora and La Vigna del Palo. Pian di Fiora is the cooler site, with just 5 hectares, the grapes are destemmed by hand and then fermented in 500l clay amphoras. The grapes of the east-facing vineyard La Vigna del Palo are fermented in open 500l barrels. The wines are then married and matured in 300l barriques for another 10 months before the wines are then bottle aged for another 22 months.
Intense, deep red with dark ruby reflections. In the nose fresh notes of red berry fruits and spices, hints of black pepper. On the palate it is complex, with gripping tannin, a fine acid wire and a wonderfully balanced body. It has a great storage potential and is for us the classic meditation wine in appearance and expression. SUPERIORE.DE
"Densely woven, with super-fine tannin, dark berry fruit, hints of brown bread, dried goya berries, brine syrup and a slightly iodine note: an elegant, special wine that has absolutely nothing in common with the Syrah plants of the Northern Rhône, even if this is repeatedly claimed. I drank the 2015 at Milan's Restaurant Vun, where two-star chef Andrea Aprea served it with a shoulder of lamb and malted barley. Phenomenal." Dr. Jens Priewe (weinkenner.de)
"Mineral and spicy bouquet, very elegant and calming, yet very broad with earthy and tobacco notes with iron notes reminiscent of blood. Surprisingly fruity on the palate, but clear as a bell, almost pure and crisp, completely different style, very exciting and with a lot of finesse. A top Maremma Syrah." Weinwisser
"After a little aeration delicate aromas of dark forest fruits, flowers, spicy and smoky notes; polished in the mouth, the fine-grained tannins and the airy acidity in balance, shows race and cut to the final. Elegant, full of esprit and a delightful proof that a Syrah from Tuscany cannot be compared to any other Syrah (or Shiraz) in the world". Vinum
"This debut vintage is a classic expression of Syrah. With fruit drawn from 34-year-old vines, fermented both in terracotta amphorae (acquired from the Manetti family of Fontodi fame) and open-top tonneaux, then aged ten months in French barrique, the 2015 Le Pupille shows all the typical notes of Syrah and a nice roundness of tannin. It is a very tight wine that is layered and beautiful, carefully crafted to avoid reduction. This new line should be a winner for years to come. Congratulations." Robert Parker
"This is a new wine from Le Pupille and made in amphorae and large barrels. The aromas are a dead ringer for Côte-Rôtie! So much smoked meat, spice and dark fruit. Full-bodied, juicy and succulent with plenty of dark fruit and then a long and flavorful finish that shows gamey and earthy undertones. Clean and vivid. 3,000 bottles produced." James Suckling

For some years now, this noble French grape variety has been experiencing a real boom in Italy. From the north to the south of Italy they can be found more and more frequently. It was recognised early on that this spicy grape variety was very suitable as a blending partner. Be it with Barbera, Sangiovese, Nero d'Avola, Aglianico or Carignano - a few percent Syrah usually do well.
