Bramasole Cortona DOC Syrah from La Braccesca is presented in magnum format and offered in a wooden case, a solution designed for storage and conviviality. It is a Syrah bottled under the Cortona DOC designation, notable for its varietal identity and for the care given in the cellar to grape handling and vinification. The magnum format enhances bottle maturation and the wooden case eases transport and presentation.

In the glass it shows an intense color with ruby reflections, and an aromatic profile leaning toward ripe dark berries, complemented by spicy nuances and discreet floral notes. On the palate it is medium-full-bodied, with present but well-integrated tannins, a balance of freshness and structure and a pleasantly persistent finish. It pairs with meat dishes, grilled preparations and hard cheeses; the magnum format makes it suitable for convivial occasions. Serve at around 16–18 °C and decant if you wish to open the aromas.
