The Braccesca Bramasole Syrah, from Cortona, is a variety that works really well in Tuscany, in the right hands of course. We've enjoyed a few bottles of the 2018 recently and it's just gorgeous, reminiscent of a top Northern Rhone yet with a distinctive Tuscan accent. James Suckling awards 95 points and whilst the 2018 is just entering into its drinking window, we can't help but think that like a great Hermitage, this has even more to give with extended cellaring. This is an absolute beauty and comes highly recommended.
