Tenuta La BraccescaAchelo 2023

About this wine

This bold Syrah from Tuscany's Cortona region shows why Marchesi Antinori remains at the forefront of Italian winemaking. The 2023 Achelo captures the essence of Syrah grown in the warm, sun-drenched hills where this grape truly thrives.

On the nose, you'll find intense aromas of dark berries, blackcurrant, and a hint of black pepper. The palate delivers rich flavors of ripe plum and blueberry, complemented by subtle notes of cocoa and Mediterranean herbs. The finish is smooth and persistent, with well-integrated tannins that give the wine beautiful structure.

This wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb chops, beef stew, or a hearty mushroom risotto. For a Tuscan touch, try it with wild boar ragù over pappardelle. Serve at 16-18°C to let the wine express its full character.
