Syrah Bosco IGT Toscana Magnum: intensity and finesse from the hills of Cortona

Syrah Bosco IGT Toscana by Tenimenti d'Alessandro is a red wine of great personality, made from selected Syrah grapes from the best hillside parcels in the Manzano area, in Cortona. The Magnum format enhances an already rich and complex wine, perfect for important tables and for those seeking a label capable of combining depth, elegance, and territorial identity.

Territory and wine style

The vineyards are located on the hills of Manzano, between 290 and 300 meters above sea level, in a context that favors balanced ripening and good aromatic expression. The denomination is Toscana IGT and the grape variety is exclusively Syrah, interpreted with a style that focuses on concentration, clarity, and complexity. The clayey-silty soils contribute to giving substance and depth, while the long vinification and aging in used wood build a defined profile, without excess opulence.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense and deep red color. The bouquet is broad and multifaceted: notes of arabica coffee powder, cocoa beans, Tuscan cigar box, and fresh mint emerge, alongside red fruits, flowers, and hints of Mediterranean scrub herbs. On the palate, the wine is enveloping, structured, and consistent with its character, supported by a tannic texture that is present but well integrated, and by a freshness that extends the sip. The finish is persistent, with spicy, earthy, and balsamic returns that confirm the personality of the Syrah Bosco.

Recommended pairings

This wine naturally pairs with grilled red meats, roasts, braises, and game, but it also holds up well with flavorful preparations of Tuscan cuisine. It is ideal with pici with ragù, peposo, oven-roasted lamb, grilled steak, and aged cheeses. Its structure allows it to accompany intense dishes without losing balance, making it a versatile choice for important lunches and convivial dinners.

Serving temperature
