2022 Lionel Messi Collection Lionel Goat Syrah

The 2022 Lionel Messi Collection Lionel Goat Syrah is a bold, characterful red crafted for fans of intense, modern wines and of one of the greatest footballers of all time. Made from Syrah grapes in Italy, it balances ripe fruit, spice, and structure in a style that’s both approachable and food‑friendly. As part of the officially licensed Lionel Messi Collection, this bottling is designed to celebrate greatness in the glass as much as on the pitch.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2022 Lionel Goat Syrah typically shows a deep ruby to purple hue, hinting at its concentration and youthful energy. The nose is generous and expressive, with notes of dark cherries, blackberries and plums, layered with hints of black pepper, violets, and a touch of sweet spice from oak influence. On the palate, expect a medium to full-bodied Syrah with juicy dark fruit flavors, such as blackcurrant and blackberry, supported by fine-grained tannins and a fresh, well-balanced acidity. Subtle nuances of cocoa, licorice, and smoked herbs may emerge as the wine opens in the glass, adding complexity without overwhelming its fruit-driven core. Enjoyable now for its vibrant, silky texture, this 2022 Syrah has enough structure to evolve positively over the next 3–5 years if cellared properly.

Production
Sourced from selected Italian vineyards, the Lionel Goat Syrah benefits from the country’s sunny climate and diverse soils, which help Syrah achieve both ripeness and aromatic lift. Grapes are typically harvested at optimal maturity to preserve freshness and varietal character, then carefully sorted before fermentation. Vinification generally involves temperature-controlled stainless-steel fermentation to capture pure fruit expression, followed by a period of maturation—partly in oak—to round out the tannins, add gentle spice, and deliver a polished, modern style suited to the Lionel Messi Collection.

Food & Serving
This Syrah pairs wonderfully with grilled and roasted meats such as steak, lamb chops, or barbecue ribs, as well as hearty pasta dishes with rich tomato or ragù sauces, gourmet burgers, and aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C (60–64°F) to highlight its fruit and spice without emphasizing alcohol. A brief decant of 20–30 minutes is recommended to let the aromas open up and soften the tannins, especially if you’re enjoying the wine in its youth.
