La Braccesca 2012 Achelo Syrah (Cortona)

Country: Italy / Achelo
Variety: Syrah Tuscany
Winery: La Braccesca / Cortona

Here’s a firm red that opens with aromas of coffee, toast and black plum. On the dense palate, notes of roasted coffee bean and ground black pepper add interest to the core of dried blackberry. It’s tightly wound, with bracing tannins.
