2022 Castagnio Syrah Cortona DOC
2022 Castagnio Syrah Cortona DOC
Grapes: 100% Syrah
Production: Low yields (4 tons per hectare). Hand-picked.
Tasting Notes: Fresh and fruity with notes of plum, juniper berries, floral, and herbaceous hints. Tasty, fragrant, and balanced with good structure and soft tannins.
“Castagnino” is the younger brother of our symbol wine (Il Castagno). It is made only from 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.
It intends to be a friendly, easily drinkable but not standardized, very original Tuscan and terroir driven Syrah, made with simple, ethical and eco-friendly viticultural methods and winemaking processes, in accordance with the best “technological craftsmanship”.
