One of the most noble and mysterious vines in the global wine scene, rich in anecdotes and legends that accompany its journey through the centuries. Originating from the Rhone Valley in France and not from the Persian Syraz, it is a feminine grape variety in French and therefore “la” Syrah in Italian. This grape, with a skin as dark as a moonless night, opens up to the world with a promise of intensity and character that few others can offer.
The continental climate of our vineyards – characterized by cold winters and hot, breezy summers – and the soil, rich in sand and silt, have proven to be perfect for a variety like Syrah. Syracide is Sergio Mottura’s latest challenge: creating a great red wine from international grapes. A persuasive and charming wine.
