Syrah 2023 Sicilia Doc - Authentic from Sicily Duca di Salaparuta

Autentici di Sicilia Syrah 2023 red wine from the Duca di Salaparuta winery

Sicilian red wine made from Syrah grapes, produced in Western Sicily, in the area between Marsala and Palermo, in the province of Trapani, in the Risignolo estate.

Syrah is a red grape variety of controversial origin, now cultivated all over the world, which has found in Sicily a territory that allows it to express itself excellently thanks also to its good resistance to climatic adversities, guaranteeing a low but constant production.

Thanks to the land in which it is born, this typical Sicilian red wine takes on a very intense red color with some violet reflections.

Upon opening it presents a bouquet of jam, red fruits and black pepper.

On the palate it is very velvety, with very succulent tannins and a great elegance in the finish.
