If there is a ‘new school’ wine town in the Tuscan inland, well that’s Cortona, where Syrah has found a favorable terroir for great wines, such as this stunner from Tenimen; D’Alessandro. Intense purple typical of Syrah, this wine opens with an overwhelming intensity of dried plum, violet, black currants, maraschino cherry, with a light note of coffee mixed with cocoa, an elegant spice of sandalwood and an herbal note of freshly cut grass. Palate is rich, intense, yet very fresh and balanced with a firm tannin that leads to a savory, luscious finish for an effluvium of black fruits and jasmine tea. 100% Syrah. 1bt in Shipment. Drink Through 2022-2026. Open 2h before.
