Valdibella Ligame Syrah 2019, Italy

Disa, in Sicilian dialect liame, is a very resistant spontaneous herbaceous plant. In our area and in much of rural Sicily several decades ago, it was used by farmers to tie vines. We took it as a symbol for this vine with very ancient origins, which some authors trace back to the Persian city of Shiraz. Today's Syrah certainly comes from the Rhone valley and from there it spread throughout the world and found in Sicily a land suitable for its cultivation.
