La Braccesca โ Achelo 2023
Cortona DOC โ Tuscany, Italy ๐ฎ๐น
100% Syrah
Overview
Achelo is La Braccescaโs pure expression of Syrah, grown in the Cortona appellation โ an area that has quickly become Tuscanyโs benchmark for this Rhรดne varietal. Unlike the usual Sangiovese-driven Tuscan reds, this bottle showcases Syrahโs fruit-forward, spicy elegance in a Mediterranean setting.
Aromas & Flavors
Juicy blackberry, ripe plum, and dark cherry up front, layered with violet, black pepper, and a faint hint of licorice. A touch of Mediterranean herbs rounds it out beautifully.
Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with lively freshness. Silky tannins carry a supple, juicy core of fruit, finishing smooth and vibrant without heaviness.
Food Pairings
Pairs effortlessly with grilled sausages, roasted duck, Tuscan cured meats, or pasta with rich ragรน. Also a great match for charred vegetables.
Verdict
Expressive, fruity, and juicy to the last sip. Achelo 2023 is a surprising Tuscan treasure that proves Syrah thrives in Cortona โ both approachable now and worth watching as it develops.
Did You Know?
Though Syrah is more famously associated with the Rhรดne Valley, Cortona DOC in Tuscany has built a reputation for world-class Syrah, thanks to its favorable microclimate and clay-limestone soils. โ 2 months ago
