Fontodi, Syrah Case Via, 2019

Fontodi’s Syrah Case Via 2019 is a striking Tuscan interpretation of the classic French grape, showing how well Syrah can thrive in the right hands outside the Rhône. Richer and darker than many northern Rhône examples, it still keeps the grape’s signature freshness, poise, and aromatic identity intact.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a deep, dark color that hints at its generous fruit and fuller style. The bouquet brings classic Syrah character: smoke, olive, bacon, leather, and tobacco, layered over blackberries and blackcurrants. The palate is lush and expressive, with dark fruit at the core and a savory, almost meaty complexity that gives the wine real personality. Despite its depth, Fontodi’s emphasis on freshness keeps it balanced and lively. It should age well over the coming years, developing even more nuance and complexity.

Production
Made in Tuscany by Fontodi, Case Via reflects the estate’s skill in working with Syrah in a warm Italian context while preserving elegance and varietal character. The wine’s style suggests careful vineyard selection and vinification focused on purity, structure, and freshness.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for Italian sausages, grilled meats, and richly flavored game dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for about 30–60 minutes if possible to let the savory aromas and dark fruit open fully.
