Suisassi Costa Toscana IGP 2019 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Suisassi Costa Toscana IGP 2019 1500ml Magnum by Duemani

Colour & Appearance

Luminous, dense purple with violet reflections – a visual statement that announces the concentration of this Tuscan Syrah right in the glass.

Nose

An aromatic fireworks display of impressive complexity: blackberry, sweet cherry and mulberry dominate, flanked by fig, blackcurrant and preserved morello cherries. The dark fruit is accentuated by black pepper, cinnamon and juniper. Mediterranean herbs – rosemary, oregano, liquorice – lend depth to the bouquet, whilst coconut, liquorice and melted dark chocolate provide refinement. With air contact, ethereal notes of mint and eucalyptus unfold.

Palate

Here Luca d’Attoma’s mastery reveals itself: despite enormous density and concentration, this Syrah remains elegant and controlled. The intense fruit is enveloped by a silky, cooling mantle. The tannin presents itself as butter-soft and melting, whilst a gripping acidity provides freshness and tension. The fruit tastes serious and generous, accompanied by ethereal components. A subtle, well-buffered peppery note underscores the youth of this powerhouse.

Finish

Expansive and lingering for minutes, characterised by eucalyptus and liquorice. The fruit resonates generously – an impressive finale.

Terroir & Origin

The vineyard in Riparbella is described by the winemakers as „extreme“: clay-rich, stony, with limestone in the subsoil and exposure to the Tyrrhenian Sea. The 17-year-old vines benefit from this demanding terroir.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Syrah, hand-harvested and double-selected. Fermentation in conical 1000-litre vats and barriques, of which 30% as whole-bunch fermentation. Following 30 days of maceration, a 22-month maturation in French oak (80% first-fill). Neither racking nor filtration before bottling – purist winemaking in its purest form.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Tomahawk steak from the charcoal grill, braised ox cheeks with port wine jus, game dishes or surprisingly also roasted beetroot with parsley pesto and walnuts.

Special Features

The magnum bottle guarantees optimal ageing conditions. A Syrah that convinces even sceptics of more elegant wine styles – power meets finesse.
