Region of Italy: Toscana

Producer: Dote

Vintage: 2019

Vitigno: Syrah

Since many years in this area of Toscana, Cortona, syrah is considered the grape to be grown and Cote Rotie the example to look at. However, Filippo Calabresi is thinking outside the box and makes wines in a very different way. Harvested on August 22nd, spontaneously whole–cluster fermented (semi carbonic maceration) in wooden vessels, 5 days of skin contact, aged 5 months in five old barriques. Bottled without clarification and filtration.

Service tips:  Serve it at 12 C with wild boar (cinghiale) prosciutto
