With a ruby red color and purple hues, this wine offers a palette of aromas of plums and dates, enriched with notes of laurel and violet, making every sip a journey of discovery into the Syrah grape's deep roots in this sun-drenched region.
Refined Taste and Aromatic Complexity
The meticulous vinification process of the Cuntame Syrah begins with a completely hand-harvested wine, followed by a gentle pressing and fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks. These methods ensure that the essence of the Syrah grape is fully expressed. The wine then undergoes a seven-month aging process, which further develops its structure and depth of flavor, followed by a minimum of three months of bottle aging to enhance its complexity. The result is a wine with vibrant freshness and fullness of fruit, complemented by a savory finish reminiscent of licorice.

This wine is ideal with grilled meats, rich pasta dishes, and mature cheeses, where its powerful flavors blend harmoniously with the intensity of the dishes. Serve this wine at an optimal temperature of 16-18°C to experience all its subtle nuances. For wine lovers seeking a wine that represents both the traditional values and the innovative vision of Puglia's viticulture, Cuntame Syrah offers a unique and memorable drinking experience.
