Fabrizio Dionisio Syrah Il Castagno 2017
Il Castagno is the winery's flagship. Il Castagno is intended to be a unique and original Syrah, very Tuscan, authentically varietal but, above all, a faithful and sincere expression of the terroir of Cortona and the unique characteristics of our beautiful region of Tuscany, the result of simple, ethical and eco-friendly cultivation operations and oenological practices, under the banner of the best 'technological craftsmanship'.

Colour

Ruby red.

Bouquet

The nose has complex, deep and fascinating aromas of ripe red and black fruits, chocolate, coffee and white pepper, with nuances of blond tobacco, spices and tar.

Flavour

Il Castagno is a powerful, yet harmonious and balanced wine, characterised by remarkable structure, softness and elegance. On the palate, it offers velvety tannins and correct acidity, the taste is fruity and spicy, with exuberant notes of strawberries, blackberries and cherries, balsamic and mineral hints of grilled meat and cloves. The finish shows great character and personality, with a layered, very long and persistent aftertaste.

No. plants per hectare 5,000.
Yield per hectare 4,000 kg/hectare.
Harvest By hand, not before mid-September, with small 15 kg perforated boxes. Grapes are carefully selected throughout the year.
Vinification After extremely soft crushing and destemming to leave the grapes intact, alcoholic fermentation takes place spontaneously, thanks to the indigenous yeasts, in temperature-controlled steel tanks for about 15 days. On average, the subsequent maceration of the skins lasts another three to four weeks.
Ageing Malolactic fermentation involves only the first must, i.e. the wine obtained from pressing the marc is never used for the production of the company's wines and occurs spontaneously, without inoculation of bacteria. This is followed by at least 18 months of ageing on the noble lees in the best French oak barrels from Allier, Nevers and Tronçais.
Production year 10,000 bottles
Allergens Contains sulphites

From this winery:
