Shiraz (or Syrah) is a grape variety of oriental origin, originating from ancient Persia.
It has established itself in France mainly in the Rhone Valley, where it contributes, together with other vines, to the production of famous wines such as Hermitage and Châteauneuf-du Pape.
Since the beginning of the last century, this vine has spread to some parts of Australia, such as the Hunter River Valley, near Sydney.
Thanks to the “Casale del Giglio” project it was introduced for the first time in the province of Latina in 1985.
GRAPES AND VINIFICATION
100% Syrah, from grapes that have reached an optimal state of ripeness.
Cold maceration for two days at around 10° C. to encourage greater extraction of both the typical aromas of the grape variety and the colour.
Red vinification with periodic punching down (2–3 per day) to ensure a higher content of extracts and tannins.
The tumultuous fermentation continues for 10–12 days at a temperature of 26–28° C. with a succession of several “délestage”, especially in the early stages of vinification.
After careful racking, with the draining marc moved only by gravity, malolactic fermentation follows in steel.
Aged in barriques for 8–12 months and 6 in the bottle.
ORGANOLEPTIC EXAMINATION
Ruby red color with purple hues; intense, persistent aroma, with fruity notes of blackcurrant, blueberry and morello cherry, cardamom and cinnamon.
Soft and warm taste, with good tannic texture and return of spicy notes of black pepper in the finish.
SUGGESTED COMBINATIONS
Grilled tuna steak.

WHO WE ARE
Always for Amatrice
For over 20 years we have been selecting and bringing the best products of our land to the tables of families. After the earthquake of August 24, 2016, we were forced to completely reorganize our business, facing numerous difficulties. Courage, support and love for our city have allowed us to move forward with the same determination as before. Today our shop is located inside the Il Corso Shopping Center, built temporarily to deal with the emergency. At the same time, we have created a new e-commerce to allow many people throughout Italy to purchase our products. We are still here, as we once were, to represent and promote the original gastronomic tradition of Amatrice.
