The La Braccesca Bramasole Syrah is made from the sunniest part of the vineyard in one of Cortona’s best areas for the production of premium quality Syrah. Malolactic fermentation takes place in small French oak barrels, both new and second fill, and then the wine is matured for approximately 18 months before being bottled. Deep, intense, ruby red in colour Bramasole is soft and elegant with notes of ripe cherries and blackberries that blend with hints of spices and sensations of sweet liquorice. Its palate is powerful, rich and well-balanced. Pleasant tannins are well-established and balanced by a smooth texture. The long finish is well defined by after aromas of vanilla and blackberries.
