Fabrizio Dionisio 2018 Syrah Cortona DOC "Cuculaia" is a bold red wine that embodies the vibrant essence of the Tuscan terroir. Hailing from the hills of Cortona, this Syrah offers a unique sensory experience, the result of a perfect harvest. The aromatic spectrum opens with intense aromas of ripe berries, such as blackberries and currants, intertwined with elegant spicy notes of black pepper and a delicate hint of vanilla from aging in barrique.
On the palate, the structure is firm and enveloping, with soft and well-integrated tannins that provide great drinkability. The finish is long and complex, with a subtle minerality that reflects the clay soil of Cortona, delivering a freshness that perfectly balances its opulence. This Syrah is ideal when paired with hearty dishes such as braised beef or stewed wild boar, but it is also perfect with aged cheeses, making it an intriguing choice for an evening with friends. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, every sip of Cuculaia tells a story of passion and dedication, turning every moment spent with this wine into a special occasion to share.
