La Braccesca Bramasole Cortona Syrah

Grapes/vinification:
Upon arrival in the cellar, harvested Syrah grapes were destemmed and gently crushed. The must was transferred into stainless steel tanks and underwent cold soaking for 3 days to extract aromatic compounds and flavors before fermentation, which took place at a controlled temperature of about 28 °C (82 °F). The skins were left in contact with the must for approximately 15 days. The wine went into small French oak barrels, both new and second fill, where malolactic fermentation took place. Bramasole aged for approximately 18 months and was bottled in springtime.

Tasting notes
Bramasole is a deep, intense ruby red color. Its nose is soft and elegant with notes of ripe cherries and blackberries that blend with hints of spices and sensations of sweet licorice. 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.
