"Francesco Spadafora makes one of the best Syrahs in Sicily and Italy. This offers beautiful aromas of dark fruit and chocolate, followed by spice, leather and tobacco accents. These aromas are well integrated, resulting in a silky, creamy mouthfeel, with long persistency."

"Well-sculpted tannins and racy acidity structure ripe and juicy flavors of date, dried currant, dark chocolate and tarry smoke, keeping this focused and tightly knit through to the firm, tobacco- and spice-laced finish. Syrah. Best from 2016 through 2028."
Product Description:
"Sole dei Padri is the flagship wine of the collection: 100% Syrah from organic grapes sourced from a single-vineyard on sandier soils which produce a ripe and concentrated wine that needs time and patience to reveal all of its subtleties.
A dense ruby red, elegant and persistent in aroma with notes of red and black berry fruit, blueberries and blackberries, vanilla, and tobacco, it is of important structure and roundness, rich and ample, deep, silky, and with a formidable momentum on the palate, a harmonic balance between sweet tannins and freshness, and a long finish. Excellent with red meat and full-flavored cheese." - Importer
