More questions
Syrah DOC Riserva from Baracchi is a red wine based on Syrah, classified as DOC Riserva and representative of the producer's style. Deep ruby in color with violet reflections, it opens with an aromatic profile of ripe red and black fruits, plum and blackberry, accompanied by spicy notes that can recall black pepper and light floral hints. On the palate it shows a full body, structured but well-integrated tannins and a saline texture that supports the taste progression. The finish is clean and of good persistence, maintaining balance between fruit and spice without excess.
It pairs with dishes of red meat, roasts, game and aged cheeses, as well as savory mushroom preparations and rich sauces. Serve in a large glass at a slightly cool temperature for red wines (around 16–18 °C) to appreciate its aromas and structure. Produced by Baracchi, it is aimed at those who seek a Syrah with a decisive character and pleasant intensity.
