Sicilia DOC Syrah Sallier de La Tour 2019
Description
This Syrah comes from the rows of the Sallier de La Tour estate in Tasca d'Almerita, located in the Palermo municipality of Monreale.
It is the result of only Syrah grapes traditionally vinified in red, with 20 days maceration in contact with the skins. Following malolactic fermentation, 30% of the wine is aged in steel and 70% in 225-liter French oak barrels from Allier and Tronçais. for 12 months, followed by a further period of 4 months in the bottle, before being placed on the market.
It has a ruby red color with violet reflections. The nose is expressed with sensations of black fruits and spices, with a clear prevalence of black pepper, which leave room for elegant notes of Mediterranean scrub, black currant and blackberry later on. On the palate the wine is soft and balanced, with a pleasantly persistent finish.
Ideal to combine with first courses and red meats, it goes well with game and aged cheeses.
