Harys

Giovanni Battista Gillardi Harys

Syrah grown at 500 m in Farigliano, described by the estate as the father of Piedmont Syrahs. The label is printed in a different colour each year.

Tasting notes

Fine and elegant, with both power and finesse; the producer says it is far from the heft of Syrah from warmer climates.
