Fattoria La Torre Esse Rosso Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy 2011

Description

The 2011 Fattoria La Torre Esse Rosso Toscana IGT, made from 100% Syrah, is a mature, quietly expressive Tuscan red that shows both varietal character and graceful evolution. The nose opens with dried black cherry and plum, followed by notes of black pepper, leather, smoked herbs, and a subtle balsamic edge.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied and fully resolved, with softened tannins and a smooth, integrated texture. The Syrah brings savory spice and depth rather than overt fruit, supported by balanced acidity that keeps the wine fresh and food-friendly. The finish is earthy, gently peppered, and composed. This is a distinctive, old-world–leaning Tuscan Syrah that’s drinking well now and pairs beautifully with grilled meats or rustic dishes.
