Fontodi, Syrah Case Via, 2020

Fontodi’s Syrah Case Via 2020 is a striking Tuscan interpretation of a classic Rhône grape, showing how beautifully Syrah can adapt to the warmth and character of central Italy. Richer and darker-fruited than many northern Rhône examples, it still keeps a vivid sense of freshness and varietal identity, making it both distinctive and highly appealing.

Tasting Notes
Deeply colored and inviting, this wine opens with a layered aromatic profile of smoke, black olives, bacon, leather, and tobacco, all wrapped around ripe dark fruit. Blackberry and blackcurrant lead the palate, giving the wine a juicy core and a confident, savory edge. The texture is full and satisfying, with Fontodi’s focus on freshness helping to keep the wine balanced and expressive rather than heavy. Its structure and concentration suggest solid aging potential, though it is already generous and enjoyable now.

Production
Sourced from Fontodi in Tuscany, this Syrah reflects a thoughtful meeting of French grape and Italian terroir. The region’s sun, warmth, and mineral-driven soils help bring depth and ripeness, while the winery’s approach preserves freshness and tension in the final wine. Vinification is geared toward highlighting Syrah’s natural spice, dark fruit, and savory complexity.

Food & Serving
This is an ideal match for Italian sausages, grilled meats, and game dishes, especially those with rich, earthy flavors. Serve at around 16-18°C, and decanting for about 30-60 minutes is recommended to allow the savory notes and dark fruit to fully open.

Based in the Chianti Classico zone, the estate has earned a strong reputation for both traditional and more adventurous expressions, including standout wines like this Syrah, which showcase the producer’s range and quality.
