700 meters above sea levelSyrah, grown at 730 meters above sea level on predominantly clay soils, is an excellent example of how terroir profoundly influences a wine’s character. The combination of a specific soil and high altitude creates a unique environment for growing grapes, which is clearly reflected in the distinctive qualities of the final wine.

Syrah displays a vibrant ruby ​​red color, enriched with purple hues that hint at its complexity and vigor. This visual intensity anticipates an aromatic richness and depth of flavor that make it particularly inviting.

As you raise the glass to your nose, you’re greeted by a symphony of aromas: from fruity notes of blueberry and fresh plums to the more delicate, floral notes of violet and cyclamen, enriched with accents of pink pepper, almond paste, and a subtle hint of bitter cocoa and cloves. This olfactory complexity highlights Syrah’s ability to fully express the nuances of its terroir.

On the palate, the wine presents a balanced structure and surprising freshness, expertly balancing its aromatic richness. The presence of well-integrated and respectful tannins gives the wine a composed texture that embraces the palate without overwhelming it. Notes of vanilla tobacco, reminiscent of the pleasure of a pipe, add an extra dimension to the flavor, making the tasting experience even more satisfying.

This Syrah is remarkably drinkable, making it pleasantly accessible even to those approaching wines from this variety for the first time. Syrah is a tribute to the richness and diversity that a particular terroir can express through wine.

It is an authentic expression of a place, a vintage, and the vision of Baglio di Pianetto, which together create a tasting experience that remains etched in the memory.
