Stefano Casadei has launched the amphora collection 'Le Anfore' with his daughter Elena. 'The Anfore line was born from a simpler and more natural idea of oenology, suited to producing wines that faithfully express the characteristics of different terroirs and vines,' says Elena Casadei. Every year she selects the varieties that have produced the best results in amphora among all the wines of the family estates. She supervises the vinification phase, deciding the maceration and ageing period. From the estate in Maremma comes this Syrah. In the vineyards, located in Suvereto, Elena follows a biodynamic philosophy. Spontaneously fermented with wild yeasts, the wine is macerated on the skins for about a month. It then ages for at least seven months in terracotta amphorae. The wine combines richness and precision with a lovely nose of blackberry, black pepper, ripe cherry and graphite in a dynamic interweaving. The mouth shows a velvety texture playing more on elegance than on power. A wine to combine with intensely flavoured dishes such as aged cheeses and game.
