The 2000 Syrah – and De Marchi was a pioneer with the grape in Italy – is peppery and gamey, long and vigorous, but with slightly drier tannins than the Sangiovese. Drink: 2005-2012. There are few men in Tuscan wine I admire more than Paolo De Marchi, for me the number one producer in the region for the variety and consistent high quality of his wines. And here it has all been done with sweat and dedication – the capital that was available elsewhere was not available at this estate.Various American importers including Petit Pois, Merion, PA; tel.
