Colle al Fico Toscana IGT Syrah 2021 - Petra x 6

Why the winemaker recommends Petra Colle al Fico Toscana IGT Syrah

The Tuscan Syrah is very good and well made, juicy and woody. It combines the prevailing blackberry base with enveloping nuances of wood, vanilla and sweet spices. Petra is an excellent winery and it fully demonstrates it here.

Characteristics of the Colle al Fico di Petra wine

Pure Syrah from the famous and futuristic cellar of the fam. Moretti in Tuscany. It is a wine that does not seek great extractive concentration, but rather a juicy and enthralling drink. This does not mean that it is not very complex, on the contrary, it offers a ferrous minerality, a spice fused with balsamic notes, scents of Mediterranean scrub and medicinal herbs, and in the background, berries, blackberry and licorice. But it is in the mouth, and above all in the finish, that the fruit lights up with a tannin that is still fine and perfectly integrated into the general balance of the wine.

Petra Cellar

Vittorio Moretti (Petra) commissioned the Swiss architect Mario Botta to design a building symbol of passion for the vineyards for the Suvereto winery. The futuristic structure with the front above ground (downstream) immersed in the vines, has the rational shape of a cylinder cut by an inclined plane and on the sides two wings shielded by porticoes. The central body (Prun stone) with the staircase that culminates in the vegetation with changing colors with the seasons creates a variable architecture.
