The red you don't expect. This is, in short, the comment many enthusiasts make when they have the chance to taste this interesting Syrah 'Made in Valle d'Aosta'. In this case, the grapes used are grown on the south-facing slopes in the municipalities of Nus, Quart, Saint-Denis, Chambave and Châtillon, between 450 and 550 metres above sea level. Harvesting takes place in the first fortnight in October and after a long maceration in contact with the skins and ageing 'sur lies' for at least 12 months, of which at least 50% in small wood, a wine with a unique character is obtained. With powerful and elegant notes blended in a fascinating balance of ripe red fruits and spices. Ruby red with garnet highlights, it is warm, full and with great volume in the mouth. A wine that enjoys a perfect balance between all its parts, in particular between the softness of the fruit and the 'hardness' of its tannins that are prominent but not unpleasant. An extremely persistent red, it can be served as an aperitif with simple cured meats. At table it goes perfectly with game and roasts.
