In a single vineyard planted 10 years ago in Loreto Aprutino, in the hinterland of Pescara, on clayey soils with a strong sandy component located 350 meters above sea level, Syrah has found the optimal conditions to express its great vitality. With an impenetrable ruby ​​red color with a bright purple hue, a sign of its pounding youth, this wine intrigues with hints of small red and black fruits, chocolate and the unmistakable spicy notes typical of the grape.

The origins of the Syrah grape are remote and controversial. There are those who believe that it has origins in Persia, near the city of Shiraz, and those who place it between Anatolia and the Middle East, tracing its appearance in Europe to the emperor Marcus Aurelius who, returning from Egypt, would have allowed the plant in Syracuse. Whatever the truth, Syrah has settled well in the Rhone Valley, in France, and only returned to Italy in the early nineteenth century, acclimatizing perfectly in Sicily, Tuscany and in the central-southern regions.
The Syrah Colline Pescaresi IGT Marina Cvetic comes from a single vineyard planted nine years ago in Loreto Aprutino, in the hinterland of Pescara, on clayey soils with a strong sandy component located 350 meters above sea level. The Syrah grape found in the climatic characteristics of this segment of Abruzzo the optimal conditions to express its vigor and give the grapes a potential to be interpreted and developed.
Vinified in stainless steel tanks, it is aged for 12 months in French oak barriques and then rests in the bottle for another 12 months.
The result is a wine of an impenetrable ruby ​​red color with a violet and brilliant hint, which is a prelude to its pounding youth. The nose is intriguing, with hints of small red and black fruits, black pepper and chocolate. As in the best tradition of this international vine, on the palate it is warm, tannic and full-bodied, fairly alcoholic. The spicy notes make it an ideal companion for meat sauce, baked pasta, stewed wild boar with red fruit coulis and, in general, spicy red meats, in particular with pink pepper.
