Syrah 2024

The Syrah is a red wine of great quality, made exclusively from Syrah grapes carefully cultivated in a 0.25-hectare vineyard planted in 2012. The vines, trained using the traditional Guyot system, allow for precise yield management (63 quintali per hectare), thus ensuring a raw material of excellent quality.

What makes this wine unique is the decision to vinify it without the addition of sulphites. The vintage has an alcohol content of 14.5% Vol, combining structure and varietal character whilst fully respecting its natural character.

Care During Harvest and Vinification

• Manual harvest: the bunches are picked by hand and placed in 18-kg crates, a crucial step in preserving the integrity of the grapes.

• Maceration: this lasts for 10 days at a controlled temperature of 27°C, optimising the extraction of the aromatic and polyphenolic compounds typical of the grape variety.

• Style and Acidity: the wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation, a choice that allows the liveliness, freshness and crispness of the fruit to remain intact.

Sensory Profile and Food Pairings

Thanks to a refined bottle ageing that enhances its complexity, the Syrah proves to be an elegant red wine with a distinct personality. On the nose, it releases intense aromas of red fruits and spices, whilst on the palate it offers a full-bodied, structured and persistent taste.

It is ideal paired with rich meat dishes and mature cheeses, or enjoyed on its own to fully appreciate its most authentic and natural expression.

Syrah: a unique and unforgettable sensory experience, just waiting to be uncorked to surprise you.

Chielisò is a small family-run winery that has its roots dating back to 1972. We belong to a family of winemakers for four generations, and our work has always been guided by a deep love for the land and respect for its fruits. 

We are located in the hills of Alto Monferrato, in the town of Cassine, a charming medieval village a few kilometers from Acqui Terme, in a land where tradition meets nature and time still flows to the rhythm of the seasons.

Chielisò was not born from a marketing strategy nor from a search for originality, but from a gesture of love. Marco and Giovanna combined the names of their children — Chiara, Elia, and Sofia — creating a name that encapsulates the very essence of our family.

Our vineyards extend over four hectares within the protected natural area of Bosco delle Sorti – La Communa, a precious ecosystem of hills, woods, and trails immersed in tranquility, where biodiversity is preserved with respect and dedication. In this unique environment, the vine grows in harmony with nature, producing authentic wines deeply connected to the territory.

From our grapes are born Barbera del Monferrato DOC, Barbera d’Asti DOCG, Dolcetto d’Acqui DOC, Cortese dell’Alto Monferrato DOC, Monferrato Freisa DOC, Syrah, and a refined Moscato Spumante.

The quality of our wines takes shape primarily in the vineyard. We cultivate without the use of herbicides and without fixed-schedule phytosanitary interventions, but regulated by weather data collection stations installed at multiple points in the vineyards that determine when intervention is truly necessary. This choice stems from the belief that the land must be listened to before it is worked.

The harvest is carried out strictly by hand, carefully selecting the best bunches. It is a moment that for us retains the authentic flavor of tradition: days of shared work, smiles, stories, and conviviality, values that have accompanied the grape harvest for generations.

With the same dedication, we accompany every stage of winemaking, aware that wine is born from the harmony between nature and human labor. For this reason, we operate with care and respect, so that each bottle expresses not only the character of the territory but also an authentic and beneficial relationship between what we produce and those who will have the pleasure of sharing it.

We look forward to welcoming you to our winery, by appointment throughout the year, to share an experience among the aromas and flavors of the territory. You can taste our wines accompanied by the best typical products of the Acqui area and discover the timeless charm of the medieval village of Cassine.
