Tasting notes
The 2011 Cortona Syrah Bramasole is a soft and velvety wine that is endowed with extra layers of black fruit, spice, tobacco and bitter chocolate. There is a savory and spicy character here that would pair perfectly next to a piece of grilled meat with gristle, salt and rosemary. The wine shows some budding tertiary qualities with smoke and crushed white peppercorn.

A racy, flamboyant wine, the 2011 Syrah Bramasole hits the palate with superb depth and intensity, while retaining considerable nuance for such a big wine. Dark-fleshed stone fruit, smoke, violets, new leather and licorice flesh out in the glass, along with attractive floral notes from the inclusion of 3% Viognier in fermentation. This is a decidedly Tuscan Syrah built on broad shoulders and fruit intensity.
