Maremma Toscana DOC Syrah Ammiraglia 2013 Frescobaldi

The Maremma Toscana Syrah of the Ammiraglia di Frescobaldi estate is born in vineyards located in the municipality of Magliano, in the province of Grosseto, in the heart of the Maremma.

It is produced with 100% Syrah grapes, harvested and selected entirely by hand. Fermentation takes place in steel at controlled temperature, with maceration in contact with the skins for 22 days. Subsequently the wine ages for 24 months in new French oak barrels and tonneaux and for a further 6 months in bottle before being marketed.

The Syrah from the Ammiraglia di Frescobaldi estate has an intense ruby red color with purple nails. The nose opens with notes of blackberry, black currant, raspberry, plum and black cherry, enriched with elegant spicy hints of vanilla, licorice and chocolate. On the palate it is soft, fresh and balanced, with well integrated tannins and a pleasantly long and savory persistence.

Perfect to accompany grilled and stewed red meats, it is ideal in combination with game and medium and long-aged cheeses.
