VINO ROSSO SYRAH

What kind of wine is Syrah?

Syrah, or Shiraz, is one of the most widespread grape varieties in the world: it produces red wines with unique characteristics, which enthusiasts know well.

In this section of our online wine shop, you will find the best Syrah wines, either pure or blended with other international or indigenous varieties.

Organoleptic characteristics

Syrah, also known as Shiraz, has an intense, almost impenetrable dark red colour; the nose reveals spicy and cocoa aromas, while the palate has an imposing structure and a mentholated finish.

Where is Syrah produced in Italy?

In Italy, this grape has found particularly fertile ground in Sicily, Tuscany, the Cortona area, and Lazio.

In Sicily, it falls under the Sicilia DOC and Terre Siciliane appellations: here, the wines are structured and rich in fruit, producing some of the best reds on the island.

In Tuscany, the most interesting results are found in the Cortona DOC, which produces elegant and deep wines.

And in France?

In France, it is particularly widespread in the Rhône Valley and in the Languedoc, where it is used to produce Châteauneuf-du-Pape rouge.

What does Syrah pair well with?

Syrah is perfect with white and red meats, as well as spicy and flavourful dishes: for example, it always finds its place in a nice barbecue. Find your favourite Syrah in our selection.
