From the prestigious Villa Passerini estate, this 2020 is a stunning and singular expression of Cortona Syrah. A product of meticulous winemaking, this 100% Syrah is uniquely aged—half in French tonneaux for 24 months and half in amphora for 12 months. The nose is deep and complex, with the amphora lending aromatic purity to notes of cranberry, black cherry, and violet, while the oak provides a sophisticated frame of toast and dark chocolate. On the palate, it’s both powerful and elegant, with a core of juicy, dark fruit, firm tannins, and a velvety texture. A long, persistent, and pure finish reveals the wine’s noble structure and serious aging potential.
