The Rapitalà Nadir Syrah 2020 has a deep ruby-red colour that reflects the wine’s intensity. The bouquet is rich and complex, with intense aromas of ripe black fruit such as blackberries and blueberries, accompanied by spicy notes of black pepper, liquorice and a light touch of oak from ageing in oak barrels. These fragrant layers create an inviting and promising profile. The palate is full and powerful, with a lovely balance between the richness of the fruit and the spiciness of the Syrah grape. The tannins are firm but well integrated, giving the wine a fine structure. The acidity is well balanced and provides a pleasant freshness, while the touch of oak adds a certain depth to the flavour profile. The finish is long and complex, with a lasting impression of ripe fruit and a subtle spiciness that gives the wine its elegance. This Syrah is an excellent choice for lovers of powerful, well-structured wines that reflect the character of Sicily.
The Rapitalà Nadir Syrah 2020 is an excellent match for grilled meat, such as rack of lamb or a well-seared steak. It is also a perfect partner for rich pasta dishes with wild boar or stews such as boeuf bourguignon.
