La Braccesca Syrah Achelo Cortona 2014

A brilliant purple color, the 2014 Achelo Syrah displays aromas of white fruit and plums. On the palate, the wine is sweet and savory, with additional hints of spice. The wine finishes with supple tannins and lingering notes of fresh fruit.

The wine is named after Achelous, the Greek figure who gave us the cornucopia, or horn of plenty. The smoky cherry, strawberry and raspberry fruit takes on mineral and tobacco notes in this elegant, distinctive red, revealing a meaty element. The finish is juicy, with an accent of black pepper.
