Suisassi Toscana IGT 2015

Wine Description for Suisassi Toscana IGT 2015 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 immediately in the glass.

Nose

Powerful and complex: cassis, elderberry juice and blueberry compote merge with intense Mediterranean herbs – sage, rosemary, thyme and eucalyptus. The distinctive oak maturation shows itself in notes of tobacco, leather, smoked meat and charcoal. A nose that fascinatingly bridges the Northern Rhône and Tuscany.

Palate

Here Luca d’Attoma’s maturing winemaking style is revealed in perfection: silky elegance meets juicy fruit fullness. The density is impressive, yet never heavy-handed – instead a playful finesse that makes every sip an experience. The 14.5% alcohol is perfectly integrated, the tannins refined and precise.

Finish

Long, spicy and with lingering berry fruit and herbal notes, accompanied by fine roasted nuances.

Terroir & Origin

The Suisassi comes from the heart of the estate in Riparbella, an extremely stony vineyard site near the lake. The barren, mineral-rich terroir gives this Tuscan Syrah its characteristic tension between power and elegance.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Syrah, macerated and fermented, followed by 15-18 months of maturation in French tonneaux and barriques. Neither fined nor filtered – an authentic expression of grape variety and origin.

Food Pairing Recommendations

This wine demands intense, earthy flavours: pigeon ragout with offal, venison medallions with blackberries and brandy-chocolate sauce or a puff pastry tart with root vegetables, mushrooms and beetroot for the vegetarian option.

Special Features

A Tuscan Syrah that demonstrates this grape variety can achieve great things south of the Northern Rhône. The 2015 vintage presents itself as accessible, yet has the potential for further years of development.
