Tenuta La BraccescaAchelo 2024

About this wine

Tenuta La Braccesca's Achelo is a bold expression of Syrah from the hills of Cortona, where the Tuscan sun and cool breezes create the perfect conditions for this noble grape. This wine captures the essence of the appellation with a modern, elegant touch that makes it a standout choice for any special occasion.

On the nose, you'll find intense aromas of dark berries, black pepper, and a hint of Mediterranean herbs. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins supporting flavors of blackberry, plum, and subtle notes of licorice and spice. The finish is long and satisfying, with a touch of minerality that adds complexity.

This Syrah pairs beautifully with grilled lamb chops, wild boar ragu, or aged pecorino cheese. Decant for at least 1 hour before serving to let the wine open up, and serve at a temperature between 16°C and 18°C to fully appreciate its depth and character.
