Syrah needs a little extra heat and this vintage amply delivered those warm temperatures. The 2012 Alessandro dal Borro (1.5-liter) is a pure expression of the mighty Rh?ne grape from the Arezzo area of Eastern Tuscany. This wine is only bottled in magnums. This is a very precise and linear expression that shows characteristic traits of blackberry, chocolate, cured meat and cracked peppercorn. This wine happily offers a greater level of complexity and textural depth compared to 2011. It showcases this power and potential of the Valdarno territory.
