Syrah

Syrah: intensity, elegance, and territorial identity

The Syrah collection from Italian Wine Selection gathers labels capable of telling the most fascinating character of this international grape variety, interpreted in Italy with great personality. From the spicier and deeper profiles to the finer and fresher versions, Syrah here shows all its versatility, thanks to wines from regions like Tuscany, Sicily, Aosta Valley, and Cortona.

This selection is designed for those seeking red wines with a rich, enveloping, and structured sip, but also for those who wish to discover different interpretations of the grape, from ripe fruit to balsamic nuances, to peppery notes and a well-defined tannic structure. The presence of reference wineries such as Antinori, Donnafugata, Le Macchiole, Argiano, and Anselmet Vini further enhances a broad and high-level offering.

The profile of Syrah in Italy

Syrah in Italy finds very different expressions depending on the territory. In Sicily, it often takes on a warm, ripe, and sunny imprint, as seen in the interpretations of Nadir Syrah Sicilia - IGT, Solinero Syrah Sicilia IGT, Benuara Terre Siciliane IGT, and Sole di Sesta 2019 Rosso Sicilia Doc Syrah. In Tuscany, on the other hand, the grape adapts to more complex and refined contexts, as demonstrated by Bramasole Cortona 2021 Syrah DOC, Syrah Riserva DOC Cortona, Syrah 2019 Rosso Toscana IGT, and Syrah 2016 Migliara Rosso Toscana IGT.

There are also interpretations of strong personality from less common areas, such as Aosta Valley with Non Expedit Syrah 2021 Valle d'Aosta DOC and Syrah 2021 Doc Henri élevé en fût de chêne, or Maremma and the Bolgheri area, where Syrah interacts with blends and wines of a modern and territorial style.

Style, structure, and pairings

Generally, it offers aromas of black fruits, dark spices, pepper, Mediterranean herbs, and sometimes hints of cocoa or licorice, with a persistent and harmonious finish. The younger and more immediate versions are ideal for flavorful but not overly elaborate dishes, while the more structured labels aged in wood are suited for important preparations.
