Description
For Sallier de La Tour the Syrah grape represents a key variety, for its development potential in this terroir. The Sicilian expression of a variety with unknown origins found a way to thrive in this area. A slow and complete ripening enhances the typical notes of this vineyard, resulting in a ruby red wine with purple shades, an intense and fruited aroma and hints of small blackberries and spices.
