Suisassi Costa Toscana IGP 2020

Wine Description for Suisassi Costa Toscana IGP 2020 by Duemani

Colour & Appearance

Deep dark cherry red with an almost black core and violet reflections at the rim – a wine that reveals its concentration and power visually from the outset.

Nose

Powerful and multi-layered: blackcurrant and blackcurrant liqueur meet elderberry juice and blueberry compote. Equally intense are the balsamic herbal notes of sage, rosemary, thyme and eucalyptus. Elegant tobacco and leather nuances bear witness to the refined barrel ageing and lend the wine additional complexity.

Palate

Here lies the true mastery of Luca D’Attoma: silky elegance meets playful fruit fullness. The 14.5% alcohol is perfectly integrated and barely noticeable – a sign of the biodynamic approach that gives the wine its natural harmony. Density without heaviness, power without obtrusiveness. Every sip invites the next.

Finish

Long, juicy and of impressive persistence. The fruit remains present whilst the herbal notes resonate elegantly.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes come from the heart of the Duemani estate in Riparbella, an extremely stony vineyard site near the lake. This particular soil composition gives the Syrah its mineral depth and concentration.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Syrah, which after 15-18 months of ageing in tonneaux and barriques of French oak was neither fined nor filtered. A wine that preserves its authenticity and reflects the biodynamic philosophy of the house.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Excellent with pigeon with orange nougat hollandaise and walnut polenta, wild rabbit with porcini risotto and thyme or surprisingly also with beetroot from salt crust with linseed oil and raspberry vinegar.

Special Features

A perfect example of how Tuscan Syrah can succeed at the highest level. Biodynamic viticulture enables a harmony and completeness that makes the wine accessible and approachable despite its power.
