Syrah Migliara 2016 Red Toscana IGT Tenimenti d'Alessandro Jeroboam

Syrah Migliara 2016 is the most precious expression of the Migliara cru from Tenimenti d'Alessandro, a Tuscan red wine capable of uniting richness, elegance, and a deep territorial identity. Born from a selected parcel in the hills of Manzano, in Cortona, it interprets Syrah with a rigorous and refined style, enhanced by the jeroboam format of 3 liters, ideal for important occasions and for long bottle aging.

Territory and wine style

The designation is Toscana IGT and the vineyard is located in the Cortona area, on the hills of Manzano, about 300 meters above sea level. The clayey and loamy soil contributes to giving depth, tension, and a marked mineral imprint, while the position of the Migliara cru expresses the authentic character of a territory strongly suited to personality-driven reds. The harvest, carried out in the second decade of September, allows for a balanced maturation of the grapes, maintaining freshness and aromatic precision. The vinification involves a long maceration on the skins and fermentation in wood, with a portion of whole clusters that enriches the wine's profile with complexity and spicy nuances.

Tasting notes

In the glass, Syrah Migliara 2016 shows an intense and articulated profile, with an aromatic array that recalls berries, river stones, white truffle, and a delicate hint of licorice. The sip is rich, elegant, and well-structured, supported by an important structure and a tannic texture that is present but harmonious. The mineral quality, evident and distinctive, accompanies a deep gustatory progression, with a persistent and savory finish. The 24 months of aging in used wood and 9 months in bottle contribute to defining a mature balance, without overshadowing the varietal character of the Syrah.

Recommended pairings

This Toscana IGT red wine pairs coherently with structured and flavorful dishes. It is ideal with grilled red meats, roasts, braised dishes, stews, lamb, and preparations with mushrooms or truffles. Its intensity also makes it suitable for aged cheeses and traditional Tuscan recipes with strong flavors. Thanks to its aromatic complexity, it can enhance contemporary dishes that focus on depth and concentration.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate Syrah Migliara 2016, a serving temperature between 16 and 18°C is recommended. An early opening can be helpful, especially in the jeroboam format, to promote oxygenation and allow the wine to express its bouquet with greater harmony.
