The History of Wine: Meridian 12 Syrah

“Meridiano 12” is not just a geographical indication, but the exact coordinate where nature meets a millennia-old winemaking vocation. It is precisely through the vineyards of Tenuta Gorghi Tondi, in fact, that the 12th meridian physically passes: an invisible but defining line that establishes an ideal habitat for vine cultivation, constantly kissed by the sun and caressed by the iodine-laden breezes of the Mediterranean Sea.
It is in this remote corner of Sicily that the Sala family has decided to embark on a fascinating winemaking challenge: to interpret the elegance of a great international grape variety, Syrah (historically present on the island since the 3rd century AD), through the vibrant soul of the southwestern coast. Born with its first vintage in 2009, the production project for this organic red aimed to create a glass where the structure and typical black pepper spice notes of the variety would harmoniously blend with an unusual richness, an intense scent of Mediterranean scrub and a vibrant marine salinity.
The uniqueness of this Syrah and its inseparable connection to the territory are also splendidly celebrated by the graphic design. Fully integrated into the “Territoriali” line – the protagonist of a major and award-winning company restyling in 2019 – Meridiano 12 wears an evocative label, embellished with elegant hot air balloons in flight. A dreamlike and contemporary image that recalls the idea of travel, the romantic crossing of geographical coordinates, and the force of the winds, a perfect visual synthesis for a wine that allows you to breathe in Sicily with every sip.

Why choose Meridian 12 Syrah from Tenuta Gorghi Tondi?

Choose this Syrah means exploring how a great international grape variety can find a perfect “home” in Sicily, acquiring unique wild and savoury nuances.
