Marina Cvetic Syrah Colline Pescaresi Igt 2017 - Masciarelli

The origins of the Syrah grape are remote and controversial. There are those who believe that it has origins in Persia, near the city of Shiraz, and those who place it between Anatolia and the Middle East, tracing its appearance in Europe to the emperor Marcus Aurelius who, returning from Egypt, would have allowed the plant in Syracuse. What is certain is that Syrah has settled well in the Rhone Valley, in France, and only returned to Italy in the early nineteenth century, acclimatizing in Sicily, Tuscany and in the central-southern regions. Syrah Colline Pescaresi IGT Marina Cvetic comes from a single vineyard planted seven years ago in Loreto Aprutino, in the hinterland of Pescara, on clayey soils with a strong sandy component located 350 meters above sea level. The Syrah grape has found in the climatic characteristics of this segment of Abruzzo the optimal conditions to express its vigor and give the grapes a potential to be interpreted and developed. Vinified in stainless steel tanks, Syrah Colline Pescaresi IGT Marina Cvetic ages for 12 months in French oak barrels and then completes the refinement by resting in the bottle for another 12 months.
The result is a wine of an impenetrable ruby red color with a violet and brilliant hint, which is a prelude to its pounding youth. Intrigues on the nose, with hints of small red and black fruits, black pepper and chocolate. As in the best tradition of this international grape, on the palate it is tannic and full- bodied , fairly alcoholic .
