Syrah IGT Private Collection 2020: elegance and complexity signed by Isole e Olena

The Syrah IGT Private Collection by Isole e Olena is a Tuscan red wine with great personality, designed to tell the most refined and profound side of Syrah in Italy. The selection comes from vineyards around 25 years old and interprets a style that is rich, intense, and at the same time measured, with an artisanal care that emerges in every phase of production.

Territory and wine style

Produced in Tuscany with IGT designation, this Syrah expresses a modern profile but rooted in the territory. Manual harvesting, destemming, and gentle pressing are steps that enhance the quality of the grapes and prepare a wine destined for significant evolution. Fermentation on the skins and subsequent aging in French and American oak barriques contribute to defining a complex, structured, and harmonious style, with a well-built balance between fruit, spices, and tasting maturity.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a deep and concentrated red color. On the nose, it offers a wide and seductive range, with notes of black currant, ripe dark fruit, chocolate, black tea, cloves, exotic spices, and earthy accents. On the palate, it is dense, full, and enveloping, with velvety and sweet tannins, an elegant structure, and a long and harmonious finish. The whole is complex yet balanced, with a sensation of maturity and finesse that accompanies the sip to the end.

Recommended pairings

The Syrah Private Collection pairs well with dishes that have a strong flavor and good structure, such as braised meats, roasted red meats, grilled fillet, game, and preparations with rich sauces. It is also excellent with lamb, flavorful stews, porcini mushrooms, and aged cheeses. The spicy component and velvety profile make it suitable for characterful cuisine, as long as it is harmonious and not excessively spicy.

Serving temperature

It is recommended to serve this Syrah between 16 and 18 °C. If the bottle has been stored for a long time in the cellar, it may be useful to open it a little in advance to enhance the expression of the aromas. A brief decanting can be considered only if necessary, to best accompany the aromatic evolution of the wine.
