Tuscany has always been synonymous with viticultural excellence, capable of combining an invaluable historical and cultural heritage with sustainable innovation. From the rolling hills of Chianti to the clay soils of the Valdichiana, the region expresses an extraordinary biodiversity that is reflected in complex, elegant wines deeply tied to their terroir of origin. In the online catalog of Fine Italian Food and Wine, the Tuscan selection shines a spotlight on producers capable of interpreting both native and international grape varieties with strict organic and biodynamic rigor.
The Valdichiana and the Syrah Phenomenon in Cortona: – Cantina Trevisan
The Cortona area, located in the province of Arezzo, has found its ultimate identity and expression in Syrah. The climate, mitigated by the proximity of Lake Trasimeno, and the sediment-rich soils provide the ideal conditions for this grape variety.
Toscana Rosato 'SoloSyrah Rosa': A fresh and contemporary interpretation that reimagines Syrah in a rosé version. On the palate, it expresses fruity notes and a distinct acidity that makes it perfect for an aperitif or to pair with fish dishes.
Cortona DOC 'SoloSyrah Rosso': Obtained from an entirely manual harvest, this red wine undergoes no fining or filtration and is vinified in concrete tanks before aging in stainless steel.Characteristics: It displays an intense purplish-red color. The nose is dominated by red-pulp fruits, blackberry, black currant, and spicy nuances of pepper and tobacco. The palate is full and enveloping, with a harmonious finish and a distinct freshness that invites another sip.
The Production Philosophy: Between Biodynamics and PurityThe new vintages bear witness to a growing focus on clean viticulture. The absence of invasive chemical treatments in the vineyard and the exclusive use of indigenous yeasts allow the wine to faithfully reflect the weather conditions of the season. The result is a lineup of dynamic, long-lived wines that are also accessible from a young age, ideal for pairing with rich traditional Tuscan cuisine (cured meat platters, structured pasta dishes, and red meats).
