Notes on the producer
Buccia Nera’s Syrah is a deep and expressive Tuscan red, revealing ripe dark fruit and subtle spice, with a clear sense of place. Grown on the family’s biodynamically farmed estate near Arezzo, the vines are rooted in clay and galestro soils, surrounded by forests and olive groves. Winemaking here emphasizes low intervention to highlight varietal purity and regional character. The result is a Syrah that speaks of the Tuscan hills with both intensity and balance.
