La Braccesca Achelo Syrah Corton Tinto

Description

“This Syrah, christened ‘Achelo’ in honour of the Etruscan god, delivers a captivating journey to the heart of Cortona’s story. The deep ruby colour, a direct inheritance from the Syrah grapes, immediately signals a wine of considerable character. The Antinori family, boasting six centuries of winemaking tradition – and a touch of delightful innovation – ensures this isn't just a drink, but a testament to a remarkable lineage. Expect aromas of ripe red fruits and spice, with a subtle hint of honey referencing its mythological namesake. The palate is luxuriously smooth, boasting velvety tannins and refreshing vibrancy. The finish, brimming with plum compote and vanilla, suggests that history, paired with exceptional quality, is always a winning combination. We’d recommend enjoying it alongside roasted duck or aged cheeses.”
