Suisassi Toscana IGT 2012

Wine Description for Suisassi Toscana IGT 2012 by Duemani

Colour & Appearance

Deep purple-red with violet reflections and a profound, almost black core – a wine that promises concentration and power from the very first glance.

Nose

A fascinating interplay between Rhône and Tuscany: black cherries and red Kampot pepper meet balsamic notes, bay leaf and cherry confit. The subtle herbal spice reveals its Tuscan provenance, whilst the Syrah typicity shines unmistakably through. Definitely decant and enjoy from large-bowled Burgundy glasses.

Palate

Texture in perfection: fine-knit, dense, velvety – like high-pile velvet, this wine caresses the tongue. The structure is impressive: rich fruit, opulent tannins and an elegantly arched acidity create a harmonious whole. Despite its youthful power, already approachable, with considerable potential for further bottle development. Minerality, extract and freshness define this extraordinary Tuscan Syrah.

Finish

Long, juicy and characterised by persistent fruit fullness. The silky elegance carries through to the end, each sip tempts you to the next.

Terroir & Origin

With Suisassi, Luca d’Attoma achieves the perfect adaptation of the Syrah grape to Tuscan terroir. The wine combines varietal spice with the characteristic elegance of Toscana IGT – possibly the region’s finest Syrah.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Syrah with 14% alcohol, vinified dry. With each vintage, d’Attoma perfects his wine style: playfulness meets density, elegance meets power.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Demands intense, earthy aromas: wild boar ragù with pappardelle, sweet and sour monkfish roast with turnips and red wine butter or vegetarian with rosemary risotto with smoked cherries and Parmesan foam.
