Conti Di San Bonifacio Sustinet Syrah 2018

This exceptional, single-varietal Tuscan Syrah from the 2018 vintage displays an intense, deep ruby red color with brilliant violet highlights. The bouquet is highly expressive, complex, and deeply inviting, opening with vibrant aromas of ripe blackberries, black currants, and dark plums, beautifully layered with characteristic notes of cracked black pepper, sweet tobacco leaf, and subtle sweet spices from oak aging. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied, robust structure featuring a rich, velvety core of dark fruit that is masterfully balanced by a refreshing regional acidity. The mouthfeel is concentrated, smooth, and beautifully rounded, supported by fine-grained, elegant tannins that lead into a long, savory, and remarkably persistent finish.

Food Pairing: Outstanding alongside robust dishes like grilled ribeye steak, roasted lamb chops, slow-braised venison, wild boar ragù, or aged pecorino cheeses.
