Syrah Cusumano 2024Questo vino Syrah è un rosso siciliano aggraziato, equilibrato e dal sorso semplice. Una semplicità però mai banale, che passa anzi attraverso la grande e difficile opera di valorizzazione del terroir siciliano fatta da Cusumano, realtà produttiva attenta a realizzare etichette che rendano onore e merito a quei vitigni che, tradizionalmente, trovano in Sicilia splendide capacità espressive. Proprio come questo Syrah, che scorre al palato con morbidezza, tracciando con eleganza un profilo dominato dall’equilibrio delle sensazioni. Il rosso Syrah nasce dalle uve dell’omonimo vitigno, che in Sicilia trova uno dei propri terroir d’elezione. La cantina Cusumano lo coltiva all’interno della Tenuta Presti e Pagni, situata sulle colline di Monreale, in vigneti a 250 metri sul livello del mare, in cui le piante hanno una media di circa 10 anni d’età. Il terroir di queste parcelle è caratterizzato dalla massiccia presenza di argilla. Le uve, accuratamente selezionate durante la fase della vendemmia, vengono diraspate e macerate a freddo per due giorni, alla temperatura di 5 gradi. Poi si passa alla fermentazione alcolica in acciaio, dove si svolge anche la malolattica. Infine l’affinamento si protrae per 5 mesi, in acciaio. Questo Syrah realizzato dalla cantina Cusumano si presenta, all’esame visivo, con un bel colore rosso rubino, molto intenso, che nell’unghia svela sfumature più leggere, che richiamano il porpora. Il ventaglio di profumi che avvolge il naso risulta costituito principalmente dalle note fruttate tipiche del varietale, a cui si alternano aromi più speziati. In bocca è di buon corpo, caloroso, morbido e armonico, con un sorso che presenta una piacevole progressione fruttata, in equilibrio con il naso. Un’etichetta da acquistare senza indugi, alla luce anche dell’ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo e dei buoni punteggi confermati a livello internazionale anche con quest’annata.9,00 £*Shipping: 48,00 £Secure redirect to the provider

Syrah 'Maroccoli' Planeta 2018Syrah by Planeta is a wine with a robust structure, which provides high drinkability already from now, but at the same time lends itself to sophisticated developments in aging. Born as a variety adapted to continental areas, Syrah has found a specific expression, time-tested by a large number of producers, on the dry and bright land of Sicily: from the vineyards of Gurra and Maroccoli arises this version of Planeta, a wine interpreted in a modern way, yet respectful of the intrinsic features of the grape. Since 1995, when it was founded by the three cousins Alessio, Francesca and Santi Planeta, the winery has won national and international markets, showing all the infinite potential of an area always able to give wines of high quality: a striking example for that is this Syrah, a red of great elegance, and at the same time a fundamental pillar of the range of reds offered by the region.21,00 £*Shipping: 48,00 £Secure redirect to the provider

Syrah 'Somewhere' Poppelvej 2021Poppelvej's Syrah 'Somewhere' constitutes a somewhat atypical interpretation of Australian Shiraz, all about fruit and smoothness. Syrah, known as Shiraz in Australia, is undoubtedly the country's most important variety, with about 25 percent of the total vineyard area dedicated to it. The first Syrah vines were important in Australian territory as early as 1832, specially selected from the best vineyards in the Rhone Valley. Although the characteristics of the wines produced vary from region to region, generally Australian Shiraz is characterized by full body and impressive structure, attributes that differ from those of 'Somewhere' Syrah. The appellation 'Somewhere' derives from the fact that when Danish-born winemaker Uffe Deichmann started his winemaking business he made wine inside an underground bunker, which was not approved by the Wine Council, so when people asked him where he made wine he used to answer "somewhere...."Poppelvej 'Somewhere' Syrah represents a pure expression of the grape variety of the same name grown according to sustainable practices within the McLaren Vale area. Harvesting is done at an early time so as to preserve the organic acid content of the grapes, which are then vinified whole cluster in stainless steel tanks with spontaneous alcoholic fermentation, accompanied by 12 days of maceration on the skins. Finally, the mass is racked into oak barrels for aging for 8 months prior to bottling.In the glass, Poppelvej's 'Somewhere' Syrah shows a bright purple-red coloration. The aromatic profile is outlined by clear sensations of berries such as blackberry, raspberry and strawberry, enriched by complex hints of vanilla and smoked meat. The palate is surprising in its lightness, with very lively freshness supporting the good overall structure, also defined by well-integrated tannin.27,00 £*Shipping: 48,00 £Secure redirect to the provider
