The single-vineyard 2008 Cortona Syrah Migliara fleshes out beautifully in the glass with layers of dark red fruit that fill out the wine's broad shouldered frame nicely. The Migliara is at once more perfumed, high toned than Il Bosco, with an expression of fruit that tends towards the red end of the spectrum. Fine, polished tannins round out the creamy finish. Here, too, the wine remains extremely primary with little in the way of aromatic development or complexity at this early stage. A small amount of Viognier is added at the final blend.

This is phenomenal. What I expect in a top Syrah with spice, black pepper, mineral, and dark fruits. Full and velvety with lots of everything. Powerful and intense. Best wine ever from here. Drink or hold. Rating: 98 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Aug 2011)

Tenimenti Luigi d'Alessandro

Massimo d'Alessandro is passionate about the Rhone and Syrah in particular. Having long since identified the 'terroir' and micro-climate of his Cortona vineyards as being almost identical to that of the Northern Rhone, he imported the best Viognier and Syrah clones, densely planted in the early 1990s, and set about making the best wines of the region. His Syrah is now rated world-class, particularly in vintages such as 2001 and 2004.
