2017 IL Castagnio Syrah Cortona DOC

It is made only from Syrah grapes cultivated in our vineyards, with very low yields per hectare (40 q. from 5.000 vines), strictly selected all over the year, particularly before and during the harvest, hand picked (usually from mid-September) into small 15 kg. boxes with ventilation holes.

Il Castagno is a powerful, yet well balanced, smooth and elegant wine, with a firm structure and complex, deep and fascinating aromas of red and black berries, chocolate, coffee and white pepper, plus nuances of spices, tar and tobacco; soft-textured, velvety tannins, fruity and spicy palate of gorgeous blackberries, strawberries and cherries, plus a lot of mineral hints, and notes of tar, meat and clove. Finishes with wonderful and long multi–layers of character.
