Syrah Torrepalino
It is unclear whether the name derives originally from the Persian city of Shyraz or from
Siracuse, a town in which it may have been cultivated in the past. Cultivated primarily
and with great success in France, in northern Rodan, where it gave life some of the
greatest red French wines.
It has now been exported over the world and clearly in Sicily
it found the perfect environment in which to grow. Syrah Patria is powerful, due to its
strong alcohol content and has a structure that requires refinement in wood. Mature
and austere, it is a favourite amongst demanding palates.
