In the Valdichiana Aretina, wine changes its voice following altitude, exposure and soil. Around Cortona, Syrah has found particularly favorable conditions, while Sangiovese continues to express itself in Tuscany's historic appellations.
The Syrah that Cortona chose
The international grape variety has adapted to the Cortona hills, developing aromas of spices, dark fruit and a recognizable structure. The Cortona DOC has enhanced its identity, making Syrah one of the local oenological symbols. Wineries tell this story through vineyards, barrel cellars and tastings.
Cortona DOC and Chianti DOCG, traditions in dialogue
Alongside Syrah, the territory produces wines linked to Sangiovese and the culture of Chianti. Tasting them together helps you understand how much the landscape can generate different characters. The best way is to do it calmly, in front of the vine rows or in the cellar, letting the aromas explain the geography.
