Cantine Paolini is a cooporative winemaking venture that was established in the 1960’s in the coastal town of Marsala, Sicily. Since their first harvest in 1972, this small group of winegrowers has expanded to over 1000 growers and winemakers. Their vineyards extend over 3,000 hectares on the eastern and southern slopes of the Sicilian municipalities of Marsala, Trapani, Salemi and Mazara del Vallo.
Tasting Notes
This is a fresh and fruit forward style of Syrah. Aromas of red fruit and spices, medium bodied and elegant tannins. This is a very versatile and food friendly red as it is a lighter and brighter style of Syrah. It goes well with salumi and smoked meats, medium aged cheeses, grilled vegetables, white meat but can also stand up to red meats. Really a wine for all situations and occasions that won’t break the bank!
Method
The Syrah grapes are hand harvested the last week in August. Maceration and fermentation in stainless steel for 9 days followed by a gentle pressing and malolactic fermentation. The wine rests in stainless steel and does not see any oak treatment.

This is an excellent syrah wine. I had this as a table wine at a wedding reception yesterday and our whole table enjoyed it immensely.
