Made from bio-dynamically cultivated Syrah grapes and matured in wood and cement for 14 months. A classic, slightly faded, ruby color. The bouquet has spice and floral notes with a touch of yellow orange; very characteristic and a tad vintage. The mouthfeel is lithe, elegant, very flavorful and has lots of class. A wine that successfully strives for elegance and has a very persistent finish.
This wine was at the center of a ridiculous polemic caused by its rejection by the DOC appellation technical commission which, in my opinion, was wrong. Perhaps what is needed is a review of the regulation parameters, also because there are wines with definite shortcoming that get commission approval.
