Terre Siciliane Syrah
Sicily, Italy
Tasted 09/11/2016
Colleague's farewell party wine 2.
Smooth, fruity, yet not that impressive Sicilian Syrah.
Vinified 12-15 days with long maceration at 26°C with daily pump-overs. Aged 4 months (70% in French medium toast oak, 30% in stainless steel).
Deep dark violet, purple hues.
Ingenuous aromas of plums, black currant, black cherry, violets. Hints of black pepper and cinnamon.
Accutate , over-rounded medium-bodied palate with tannins and acidity being nearly insensible. Plummy, with overripe straberry and black currant flavors.
Splightly spicy finish with vanilla scent.
Was ok with pizza assortment.
