The Syrah DOC Smeriglio from Baracchi is a red wine that expresses the varietal character of Syrah with restraint and clarity. It shows a compact ruby colour; on the nose it offers notes of dark fruit, hints of gentle spice and floral touches, without ever becoming overpowering. The palate is smooth, supported by present but well-integrated tannins, and the acidity keeps the sip lively. Overall it gives the impression of a flavorful, solid wine suitable for immediate enjoyment and able to accompany a range of dishes.

It is best served slightly cool in wide glasses that encourage aromatic development. It pairs well with grilled meats, rich sauces and medium-aged cheeses; it can also stand up to mushroom dishes and moderate spices. For those seeking an everyday red with personality, it offers a good balance of fruit and structure without collector pretensions. It is advisable to open the bottle shortly before serving to appreciate its olfactory and gustatory dynamics.
