Selverello Cortona DOC Syrah

SELVERELLO CORTONA SYRAH

Tenuta Montecchiesi

Denomination

Cortona DOC Syrah
Description

The name comes from a location on an old map found within the Montecchiesi estate. Pure Syrah grapes are grown in Cortona. This grape variety is well adapted to the territory of Cortona. Cortona is one of the hottest areas in Tuscany, but the temperature range between day and night sets it apart and ensures that this grape variety reaches optimum maturity.
Vinification

After harvesting, the berries macerate for 18 days. The must begins fermenting at 20°C and reaches 28°C at pressing-off; malolactic immediately follows in stainless steel.
Maturation

Six months in large oak casks.
Sensory profile

Luminous, limpid ruby red. Rich, pronounced aromas of fresh fruit immediately emerge on the nose, along with a subtle spice classic to the variety. The palate opens full and satisfying, with glossy, elegant tannins. It concludes with a full-flavoured, long-lasting finish.
Serving suggestions

A fine accompaniment to all meats, game, and cheeses.
