The Braccesca Bramasole Syrah, from Cortona, is a variety that works really well in Tuscany, in the right hands of course. We've enjoyed a few bottles of the 2018 recently and it's just gorgeous, reminiscent of a top Northern Rhone yet with a distinctive Tuscan accent.
James Suckling awards 95 points and whilst the 2018 is just entering into its drinking window, we can't help but think that like a great Hermitage, this has even more to give with extended cellaring. This is an absolute beauty and comes highly recommended.
Optimal drinking window: Now - 2031
What the critics say:
"Rich dark fruits, spiced cookie, smoky plums and black cherries define the 2018 Syrah Bramasole. This is cool-toned, pliant and pleasantly sweet, with a fresh display of inner violets, minerals and bright acids that keep the mouth watering. Nuanced tannins and sweet spice linger as this high-energy Cortona Syrah tapers off with blue and purple-toned florals. The 2018 Bramasole is stunning and so easy to like."
"A beautiful, pure syrah with dark-cherry and lavender aromas that follow through to a full body with round, polished tannins that are tight and compact. Flavorful and racy finish. Black-licorice and tar flavors. Slightly chewy at the end. Drink after 2023."
