2020 Stefano Amerighi Syrah

Place: Cortona - Tuscany, Italy

Variety: Syrah

Farming: Organic

Stefano Amerighi is one of the most important winemakers in Italy today, what he is achieving from his base near Cortona in Southern Tuscany is quite incredible. This is a story of Syrah, intellect, hard work and passion. 

100% Syrah, a portion of which are partially de-stemmed, while some are left whole and still others are lightly foot pressed. Fermentation occurs spontaneously in small concrete vats and without the use of pumps, sulfur or temperature control.  The wine is then allowed to clarify naturally and is moved to various vessels for aging.

A superb example of fragrant, tense and mineral Syrah. Here is something with nuance, with verve. The aromas are captivating and display the wild beauty of Syrah with a floral flourish. A wine of contemplation and inspiration displaying Syrah’s nobility and virility alongside myriad exquisite fragrances and superfine texture.
