Country: Italy / Cuculaia
Variety: Syrah Tuscany
Winery: Fabrizio Dionisio / Cortona
Syrah seems to enjoy the Cortona area of eastern Tuscany and this version, from vintner Fabrizio Dionisio, is a prime example. The wine is plump and rich, with lasting flavors of black cherry, sweet spice, tobacco, cured meat and black olive.
