Urso Terre Siciliane Syrah Appassito Passyrah 2018 is a generous Sicilian red that brings together the warmth of the island and the richness of appassimento-style winemaking.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine typically shows a deep ruby to garnet colour, reflecting its ripe and concentrated character. The nose is likely to lean toward dark berries, plum, dried fruits, sweet spice, and a hint of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is expected to feel full-bodied and rounded, with ripe black fruit, jammy cherry, and soft tannins supported by a warm, velvety mouthfeel. The appassito style adds extra depth and richness, giving the wine a long, lingering finish. It should be enjoyable now, with limited short- to medium-term ageing potential depending on storage conditions.

Production
Sourced from Terre Siciliane, this wine is shaped by Sicily’s sunny climate, dry conditions, and well-ventilated vineyards, all of which help grapes reach full ripeness. The appassito approach suggests that part of the fruit is partially dried before fermentation, increasing concentration, sweetness of fruit expression, and overall intensity in the finished wine.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile wine for flavourful dishes such as grilled lamb, slow-cooked beef, aubergine parmigiana, roasted vegetables, and mature hard cheeses. Serve slightly below room temperature, around 16-18°C, and consider a short decant of 30-60 minutes to help the aromas open up and soften the structure.
