Syrah Migliara 2016 Tenimenti d'Alessandro Magnum

Syrah Migliara 2016 by Tenimenti d'Alessandro is a Rosso Toscana IGT of great personality, obtained from the eponymous cru of the estate. It is a precious, rich, and elegant wine, capable of precisely expressing the character of Cortona and the Val di Chiana through the Syrah grape, interpreted here with depth and finesse. The Magnum version further enhances its evolution and ability to offer a broader and more harmonious tasting experience.

Territory and style of the wine

The wine is born in the hills of Manzano, in Cortona, at about 300 meters above sea level, in an area always suited to expressions of Syrah with a strong identity. The clayey-silty soil and the particular mineral imprint of the territory contribute to defining a refined, intense, and territorial profile. The description of the cellar evokes river stones, berries, white truffle, and licorice, with a marked minerality linked to the lands of the Val di Chiana reclaimed at the end of the 18th century. The result is a wine of authentic style, complex and consistent with the Tuscan winemaking tradition of quality.

Tasting notes

The Syrah Migliara 2016 presents itself with a rich and layered profile, where the fruity component intertwines with spicy, mineral, and balsamic notes. The nose reveals hints of ripe berries, licorice, and earthy nuances, along with sensations reminiscent of white truffle and wet stone. On the palate, it is structured, elegant, and deep, supported by a tannic framework that is present but well integrated, and by a freshness that extends the sip. The aging in used wood helps define balance and complexity without overshadowing the character of the grape.

Recommended pairings

This Tuscan Syrah pairs wonderfully with rich and flavorful dishes. It is ideal with roasted red meats, braised dishes, game, oven-baked lamb, and preparations with mushrooms or truffles. Excellent also with aged cheeses and structured Tuscan recipes, such as pappardelle with wild boar ragù or beef tagliata. Its complexity makes it perfect for a meditative tasting, to be accompanied by important and flavorful dishes.

Serving temperature

It is recommended to serve the Syrah Migliara 2016 Tenimenti d'Alessandro Magnum at a temperature of 16-18°C. Considering its structure and evolution, it may be useful to open it a little in advance to promote oxygenation and allow the aromatic profile to emerge at its best.
