Syrah Marche IGT La Monacesca 2015

Syrah Marche IGT is a red wine made by the historic La Monacesca winery. It is obtained exclusively from grapes of the international Syrah variety, grown on the slopes of Contrada La Valle in Matelica at 400 meters above sea level. The clayey soils form the ideal basis for the development of the vines cultivated with the spurred cordon system. Among the rows, the company adopts sustainable practices aimed at protecting the ecosystem. The manual harvesting of the bunches usually takes place in the first days of October, the ripening of which is carefully checked. In the cellar, the winemaking processes begin with soft pressing and continue with fermentation in steel tanks with frequent pumping over. The maceration in contact with the skins lasts for three weeks. The wine then ages for two years in oak barrels and another year in glass following bottling. Perfect to be enjoyed immediately, Syrah Marche IGT nonetheless boasts enormous potential for aging at least another ten years.
