Shymer is an elegant blend of Syrah grown on the Tenuta Baroni estate, on medium-textured sandy soils at 50 meters above sea level, and Merlot from the Tenuta Pianetto estate, at 650 meters above sea level, on calcareous soils. This blend enhances the character of the two varietals and reflects the complementary nature of their terroirs.
The winemaking process involves hand-selecting the grapes and fermenting them in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. The wine is then aged for 12 months in barriques: French oak for the Merlot and American oak for the Syrah, both new and used. This is followed by further bottle aging for at least 2 years.
The color is an intense ruby red. The nose opens with aromas of blackcurrant, accompanied by elegant notes of coffee, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The palate is dry and enveloping, with silky tannins that lend warmth and softness to the sip.
