Castagnino Syrah Cortona DOC – Fabrizio Dionisio
Castagnino Syrah Dionisio is the younger but equally loved and cared-for brother of our signature wine, Il Castagno. Like all our wines, it is made exclusively from Syrah grapes grown in our Cortona vineyards, which are characterized by very low yields per hectare (maximum 50 quintals from 5,000 plants). The grapes are rigorously selected throughout the vintage, especially before and during the harvest, which usually takes place in the first half of September, slightly earlier than for Il Castagno and Cuculaia.

Harvesting is exclusively by hand, in small 15 kg perforated boxes.
Production and Features
The grapes are destemmed, leaving the berries intact, and conveyed into temperature-controlled steel tanks where, thanks to indigenous yeasts, alcoholic fermentation occurs spontaneously. Subsequent maceration of the skins lasts an average of one to two weeks, again depending on the quality of the grapes. Malolactic fermentation also takes place spontaneously, without inoculation of bacteria. Castagnino does not mature in wooden barrels but only in concrete casks.
Sensory Characteristics
Castagnino Syrah Dionisio has a charming clear ruby red color and fresh, floral aromas, with notes of red fruits and juniper berries. In the mouth it is tasty, fragrant and balanced, with good structure and concentration, accompanied by lively acidity.
Expression of the Territory
Castagnino intends to be a particularly friendly and drinkable but absolutely non-trivial Syrah, deeply varietal but very Tuscan, a faithful and original expression of its terroir. It is the result of cultivation operations and winemaking practices that are simple, ethical and environmentally friendly.
