Syrah
Syrah is an international red grape variety, prized for producing intense, structured red wines full of character. Originally from France’s Rhône Valley, it has also spread to Italy, especially Tuscany and Sicily. Syrah wines are recognizable by their deep ruby-red colour, with aromas of blackberry, blueberry, black pepper and spices. On the palate it is generous and mouthfilling, with present tannins and good length. Thanks to its versatility, it pairs well with grilled meats, roasts, game and aged cheeses.
What kind of wine is Syrah?
Syrah is a dry red wine, generally structured and intense, made from the eponymous grape. It shows aromas of dark fruits, pepper, aromatic herbs and, in oak-aged versions, toasted notes. It’s ideal for those seeking a full-bodied, spicy red.
Where is Syrah produced in Italy?
Syrah is produced mainly in Tuscany and Sicily, where the climate favours grape ripening. In Tuscany it is well known around Cortona, while in Sicily it yields rich, Mediterranean wines. It is also grown in other Italian regions, with styles that differ depending on the terroir.
What does Syrah taste like?
Syrah has an intense flavour, with notes of blackberry, blueberry, plum and black pepper. It can exhibit balsamic, herbal and smoky nuances. Tannins are generally evident, while freshness and length vary according to climate, vintage and winemaking.
Which are the best Italian Syrahs?
Among Italian Syrahs worth discovering are the wines from Cortona, such as those produced by Stefano Amerighi and Tenimenti d'Alessandro, as well as some high-quality Sicilian labels. The choice of the best Syrah depends on budget and preferences: assess the producer, vintage, balance, complexity and specialist reviews.
