Risico Syrah Toscana Rosso IGT 2024 - Le Crocine x 6

Why the winemaker recommends Le Crocine Risico Syrah: a great Tuscan red wine IGT

The landscape of great coastal wines welcomes a new, exciting expression with Le Crocine Risico Syrah 2024. This exclusive Tuscan red wine is born in the fascinating territory of the Upper Maremma, a historically highly suited area that shares its stylistic breath with the neighboring district of Bolgheri red.

The winemaker recommends this pure varietal label for its extraordinary ability to interpret the international grape with a deeply local signature. The 2024 vintage delivers a profile of extreme finesse. Vineyard management and non-interventionist winemaking have preserved a vibrant acid freshness. The final sip detaches itself from warmer, more opulent versions to embrace a vertical, deep style oriented towards longevity, positioning this bottle among the most interesting new entries in the Tuscan Red segment.

Characteristics of Le Crocine Risico Syrah Tuscan red wine

This Tuscan red wine expresses a proud, precise character of unquestionable production elegance in the glass:

• Visual Assessment: Deep and impenetrable ruby red color, embellished with vivid purple and violet reflections that highlight its youth.
• Olfactory Profile: A direct and vibrant varietal explosion. A sharp note of black peppercorns stands out, intertwining with the wild sweetness of small forest fruits like blueberry and blackberry. Subtle nuances typical of Mediterranean scrub, graphite, and dark tobacco then emerge.
• Palate: A rich and simultaneously enveloping structure. The tannins are dense, velvety, and perfectly integrated into a silky texture. A distinct acidic spine supports the sip, delivering a memorable final persistence on spicy reminders.

Food pairings: how to enhance this Tuscan Red

The fine and spicy structure of this Syrah makes it as versatile as a great Bolgheri red, ideal for accompanying haute cuisine and traditional Tuscan dishes:

• Red Meats: Beef fillet with green pepper, grilled cuts, or Chianina steaks.
• Game: Stewed wild boar, hare cacciatore, or duck breast with a red fruit reduction.
• Cheeses: Cave-aged Tuscan pecorino and intense blue cheeses.
• International Cuisine: Spicy lamb dishes or rich preparations from ethnic cuisine.

Serving temperature and recommended glass

• Temperature: 16° - 18°C.
• Glass: Large glass for great red wines (such as a Burgundy or Syrah Glass). The flared shape is perfect for favoring correct oxygenation and allowing the immediate opening of its complex aromatic bouquet.
