Description

'I made this wine from grapes ripened in the vineyard of my biodynamic estate in the countryside of Cortona. The estate's ethics, the total absence of correctives, the crushing in the ancient manner, with the feet, make this wine a true mirror of my grapes in this vintage." Stefano Amerighi

Tasting notes

Profumo

Perfume

It enjoys intense aromas that evoke blackberry and cherry jam, coffee cream, then a picture of damp earth, cardamom, fern, tomato paste and juniper develops.

Colore

Color

Impenetrable ruby hue, purplish on the extremities.

Gusto

The structure is warm and creamy, with imposing but well-integrated tannins and acid verve to convey the "edge" flavours. The finish is insistent and decidedly harmonious.

My farm was born from a wish that matured over the years, to be able to produce a grand Syrah through the farming traditions of the family, passion, knowledge in the world of wine and the practice of biodynamics.

In order to reach this objective, Stefano Amerighi has identified an area of Chiuso di Cortona, named Poggiobello di Farneta, in the middle of which, as though it were a cru, there are two well exposed hills to south, south-east, closed within an old pebbly street to the west, a grove to the south and a ridge to the east to close the panorama.
