Production and Characteristics

Rosa del Castagno Dionisio is made exclusively with Syrah grapes grown in our vineyards, all characterized by very low yields per hectare (maximum 50 quintals from 5,000 plants), carefully selected specifically for this wine. Harvesting takes place at dawn, exclusively by hand, in small perforated crates of 15 kg. This is followed by a true “white” winemaking process, with immediate and delicate pressing of the grapes, followed by fermentation at low temperatures for about 15 days, without contact with the skins. After about six months of aging on fine lees and a period of natural stabilization, the wine is bottled.

Sensory Characteristics

Rosa del Castagno Dionisio presents itself with a fascinating pale pink color with amber reflections and a fresh, floral, and fruity fragrance, with notes of roses and red fruits. On the palate, one can appreciate its remarkable persistence, pronounced acidity, characteristic savoriness, and distinct minerality, the result of ethical and eco-friendly agricultural and winemaking practices and the magnificent terroir of Cortona.
