Risico Syrah Toscana Rosso IGT 2024 - Le Crocine x 6

The Fine Spiciness and Expressive Verticality of Pure Syrah

The landscape of great coastal wines sees a new, exciting expression with the Risico Syrah from Le Crocine. This exclusive Tuscany red wine is born in the fascinating territory of the Upper Maremma, a historically suited area that shares ideal soil and climate conditions and stylistic breath with the most blazoned coastal terroirs.

The winemaker recommends this single-varietal label for its extraordinary capacity to interpret the international grape variety with a deeply local character. The 2024 vintage delivers a profile of extreme fineness. Vineyard management and a non-interventionist winemaking approach guided by the Le Crocine winery have allowed a vibrant acidic freshness to be preserved. The final sip stands out from more opulent and warm versions to embrace a vertical, deep style oriented toward longevity, positioning this bottle among the most interesting novelties of the segment.
