PL SYR
Syrah is a noble Mediterranean grape which gives of its best in bright dry places like our Sicily. Because of this we have a great belief in the future of this variety in our island. This interpretation of Syrah is produced in a modern style, respecting all the characteristics of the vine, from an extraordinary vineyard – Maroccoli at about 400 metres, in an unspoilt area.
Powerful and impenetrable, this is a wine destined for long aging.
VINEYARD: Maroccoli.
VARIETY: Syrah.
TYPE OF SOIL: Rich with pebbles, moderately chalky with abundant limey sections.
ALTITUDE: 370 m a.s.l. - YIELD PER HECTARE: 90 quintals.
TRAINING SYSTEM: Spurred cordon. - PLANTING DENSITY: 4,500 vines per hectare.
HARVESTING PERIOD: 10-15 september.
VINIFICATION: destalking followed by 21 days on the skins at 25â°C; after racking, malolactic fermentation follows in stainless steel and wood; maturation in barriques for 14 months.
MATURATION: in Allier oak barriques, 30% new
BOTTLING PERIOD: first half of March.
AGING CAPACITY: to drink at once or age for 10 years.
TASTING NOTES: Sweet oriental spices and a fleeting recall of toasted cocoa accompany the wine in all its tasting processes, now providing hints of sun-ripened black fruit, now with more wintery notes of leather and humus. An enveloping sensation recalls the consistency of velvet with a minty and black pepper finish.
MATCHING: Marinated and grilled lamb cutlets, accompanied by mint or even by an orthodox ‘parmigiana’ with smoked provola cheese.
Sicilian dishes Meat couscous , roast piglet, gurnard, pork from the Nebrodi with broccoli.
