Discover a beautifully expressive Tuscan red with Antico Fio Torellino Casentino Syrah, a wine that showcases how stunning Syrah can be when grown in the cooler mountain valleys of eastern Tuscany. Made from 100% Syrah, this wine delivers richness, elegance and the unmistakable character of the Casentino region.

A Taste of Tuscany’s Hidden Valley

The Casentino valley sits between Arezzo and the rugged Apennine mountains. With warm days, cool nights and clean mountain air, the area is perfect for producing structured, aromatic red wines. Antico Fio is a small, traditional estate that focuses on minimal-intervention winemaking, letting the fruit speak clearly.

Grape & Character

This wine is crafted entirely from Syrah, a grape known for its dark fruit flavours, peppery spice and smooth natural tannins. In Tuscany, Syrah develops an elegant balance between ripeness and freshness, giving this wine both depth and lift. The alcohol sits around 14%, offering warmth without feeling heavy.

Tasting Notes

In the glass, Torellino Syrah pours a deep ruby red with a hint of purple around the rim.
On the nose, you’ll find dark cherries, plums, blackberries and subtle red fruit tones, lifted by notes of black pepper, warm spice and a touch of soft tobacco.
The palate is smooth, intense and well-rounded. Expect rich berry flavours upfront, followed by hints of spice, cocoa and a gentle savouriness. The tannins are polished and well-defined, giving structure without harshness. The finish is long, warming and beautifully balanced.

Food Pairing

This Tuscan Syrah pairs brilliantly with:

  • Grilled or roasted beef

  • Slow-cooked lamb shoulder

  • Tuscan wild boar ragù

  • Tomato-based pasta dishes

  • Mushroom risotto

  • Mature cheeses like pecorino or parmesan

Its depth and spice make it ideal for both hearty British dishes and comforting Italian classics.

Serving Tips

Serve at 16–18°C. A 20-minute decant opens up the fruit and softens the tannins. Store in a cool, dark place and enjoy over the next 3–6 years.

Why You’ll Love It

This is a Tuscan Italian red wine that offers something genuinely different — bold like a Syrah, refined like a Tuscan, and full of personality. Perfect for drinkers who want to explore beyond Chianti and discover a lesser-known gem with fantastic value.
