SYRAH, SICILIA, IGT, 2003
  Cantine Fina s.r.l


 
“Dark purple in color; plum and black cherry aromas and flavors are big and structured, tannic but very fine.” Robin Garr’s 30 Second Wine Advisor – May 22, 2006

Welcome to our second Sicilian producer. This is our first Syrah to be added to our portfolio.

Originating in France, the Syrah grape variety now grows around the world, but its true home is Mediterranean. Chewy in texture, velvety smooth on the outside, it oozes forth with aromas and flavors of big, fat black cherries and dark chocolate.
