Bottled in an impressive 1.5L format, it’s designed for both celebration and long-term cellaring, showcasing the depth and intensity that Suvereto’s coastal terroir can bring to this Rhône variety. Per Sempre is Tua Rita’s flagship Syrah and a benchmark for Italian expressions of the grape, consistently earning acclaim from top critics and collectors around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the 2019 Per Sempre Syrah is strikingly dense and opaque, almost ink-black with a deep purple rim that hints at its concentration and youth. The nose is intense and layered: black pepper, crushed blackberries and cassis, with notes of tar, smoked meat, dark chocolate, violets and a touch of graphite and Mediterranean herbs. As it opens, more savory nuances emerge, giving real complexity and intrigue.\n\nOn the palate, this is a mouth-filling, full-bodied wine with a firm yet refined tannic backbone and a compact, muscular structure. Flavors of ripe blackcurrant, black plum and blueberry are wrapped in spicy notes of cracked pepper, licorice and clove, supported by a subtle, well-integrated oak profile. The finish is long, powerful and spicy, with lingering dark fruit and a touch of balsamic and mineral salinity. In magnum, this 2019 has excellent aging potential: expect it to evolve beautifully over 12–20 years, gaining more tertiary notes of leather, cured meat and tobacco while the tannins soften and the fruit becomes even more harmonious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePer Sempre is sourced from Tua Rita’s estate vineyards around Suvereto on the Tuscan coast, an area characterized by mineral-rich, stony soils with clay and pebbles, and a warm Mediterranean climate tempered by sea breezes. This combination allows Syrah to reach optimal ripeness while preserving freshness and aromatic lift. The grapes are typically harvested by hand at optimal phenolic maturity, with careful selection both in the vineyard and at the sorting table to ensure only the best bunches make it into the final wine. In the cellar, the Syrah is vinified in stainless steel or concrete with temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve fruit purity, followed by aging in French oak barriques (often a significant proportion new). This élevage adds structure, polish and complexity without overpowering the natural character of the grape or the terroir, resulting in a Syrah of depth, precision and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a commanding red that pairs best with richly flavored, robust dishes. Think slow-braised lamb shanks, bistecca alla fiorentina, game meats, short ribs, wild boar ragù, or aged hard cheeses like pecorino and mature cheddar. It also works beautifully with dishes featuring black pepper, rosemary, thyme, mushrooms or truffles, which echo the wine’s savory and spicy notes. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F). Given its youth and structure, decanting is strongly recommended—at least 1–2 hours for optimal aromatics and texture, and even longer if you’re opening it in its first decade. In a magnum format, the wine will open gradually in the glass over an evening, rewarding patience with increasing layers of complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTua Rita was founded in 1984 when Rita Tua and her husband Virgilio purchased a small estate in Suvereto with just two hectares of vines—initially with no grand ambition beyond making excellent wine from their own land. Their meticulous, quality-driven approach quickly drew attention, and the estate grew steadily to around 30 hectares by 2014. Over the years, Tua Rita has become one of Tuscany’s most respected and sought-after producers, playing a key role in the rise of Suvereto and the broader Tuscan coast as sources of world-class, Bordeaux- and Rhône-inspired reds. After Virgilio’s passing in 2010, their daughter Simena and her husband Stefano Frascolla took over day-to-day management, preserving the estate’s artisanal philosophy while further refining quality. Today, Tua Rita enjoys global recognition, with wines like Per Sempre Syrah regularly celebrated by international critics and collectors for their intensity, elegance and unmistakable sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tua Rita","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54255074279761,"sku":"GCW-MMUI-1971910-1","price":375.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/2017_Tua_Rita_Per_Sempre_Syrah_1_1.png?v=1783456556","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/2019-tua-rita-per-sempre-syrah-magnum","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
