Minas 2023 Sireni & Syrah Dry Red Wine – Armavir, Armenia
50% Sireni • 50% Syrah

Bold, expressive, and artistic—Minas 2023 Sireni & Syrah is a powerful dry red wine from the Armavir region of Armenia that beautifully unites Armenian terroir with global winemaking mastery. This 50/50 blend brings together the deep, dark-fruited character of Syrah with the vibrant structure and aromatic richness of Sireni, one of Armenia’s most distinctive native red grapes.

The result is a deeply colored, full-bodied wine with layers of black cherry, blackberry, spice, violets, and soft earthy undertones, wrapped in refined tannins and a long, harmonious finish.

A Wine Inspired by Artist Minas Avetisyan

The “Minas” label pays tribute to Minas Avetisyan, one of Armenia’s most iconic and influential artists. His vivid palette, emotional depth, and dedication to Armenian identity—despite the risks posed by Soviet oppression—serve as the inspiration behind the wine’s philosophy. Minas’ courage, creativity, and tragic life story continue to shape Armenian cultural memory, and this wine honors both his artistry and his spirit.

A Collaboration Between Two Visionaries

This wine is the result of a creative, cross-cultural collaboration between:

• Federico Giotto — award-winning Italian wine consultant known globally for high-end, expressive wines
• Albert Nersisyan — a leading Armenian winemaker celebrated for reviving and elevating Armenia’s ancient wine traditions

Together, they crafted a wine that merges Italian precision and technique with the depth and authenticity of Armenian grapes and terroir. Their partnership brings out the best in Sireni and Syrah, creating a wine that is both modern and deeply rooted in Armenian heritage.
