Tenute Orestiadi Paxmentis Leggermente Appassito Syrah 2024

Tenute Orestiadi Paxmentis Leggermente Appassito Syrah is a richly expressive Sicilian red that brings together ripe fruit, gentle appassimento character, and the warmth of the island’s terroir. Crafted from 100% Syrah and aged in French oak, it offers a modern, polished style with a nod to Sicily’s long tradition of sun-drenched, full-flavoured wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows an intense red colour with bright, complex violet reflections. The nose is generous and inviting, with aromas of freshly picked sweet red berries, plums, cherry preserve, and a touch of vanilla from oak ageing. The palate is smooth and ripe, balancing the concentration from the lightly dried grapes with Syrah’s natural spice and structure. It finishes elegantly, with a modest but lavish aromatic length that feels both succulent and refined. While enjoyable now, it has the depth to develop further over the next few years.

Production
Produced in Gibellina, in the Terre Siciliane IGT, this Syrah comes from grapes harvested at perfect ripeness and then dried in a drying room for around 20–30 days to concentrate flavour and texture. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, adding complexity, vanilla notes, and a supple frame to the final blend.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile food wine that pairs especially well with spaghetti alla Norma, semi-mature cheeses, mixed grills, and roasted lamb. Serve it at around 16–18°C to bring out its fruit and spice, and decant briefly if possible to help the aromas open up fully.

Producer
Orestiadi is based in Gibellina, Sicily, and is closely tied to the region’s identity and revival, with a clear focus on expressing the character of the territory through its wines. The estate is known for creating wines that combine local passion, craftsmanship, and a distinctly Sicilian sense of place, with Paxmentis standing out as an example of its expressive modern style.
