Lusirà Syrah Sicilia DOC 2016

Lusirà embodies the Sicilian character of middle-Eastern Syrah flourishing in its promised land – four hectares of Baglio del Cristo di Campobello. Man has faith in that which he desires. The realization of dreams, together with a certainty of what will come to pass have, already taken root

Vinification: bunches are de-stemmed then lightly crushed. Pumping over the must at regular intervals guarantees optimum extraction of the substances in the skins. Maceration for c. 18 days in temperature controlled conditions.

Ageing: 14 months in 225-liter French oak barrels (Nevers, Tronçais, Allier), one-third new, and a minimum of 12 months in bottle.

Tasting notes: Dark ruby colour. The major attraction of this wine is its elegance, which caresses the mouth with intense and complex red fruit jam, taking on spiciness and finishing with a vanilla note that coats the tannins, giving a caressing mouth feel. This wine can be cellared over 10 years.

Temperature of service:  Served at 16-18°C

Food Pairing: Fish soups, artichoke risotto, light meats, and fish couscous.
