One of the top tier wines from Cristo di Campobello, ‘Lusira’ consists of 100% Syrah, aged in French barriques for 14 months and a further 12 months in bottle before release. Dark ruby in colour, Lusira demonstrates elegance and complexity, finishing with spice and vanilla on an impeccably smooth finish. It will complement grilled or roasted meats, heavier poultry dishes and aged cheeses.
“The major attraction of this wine is its elegance, which caresses the mouth with intense and complex red fruit jam, taking on spiciness and finishing with a vanilla note that coats the tannins, giving a caressing mouth feel. This wine can be cellared for at least ten years.” - Riccardo Cotarella.
