The Syrah Castagnino by Fabrizio Dionisio is a red wine made from 100% Syrah grapes grown in the company's vineyards in Cortona (AR) and handpicked in the first half of September. Once arrived at the cellar, the clusters underwent a soft destemming to leave the berries almost intact. Alcoholic fermentation, activated by indigenous yeasts, took place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature for 15 days with maceration of the must on the skins for 1-2 weeks. After spontaneous malolactic fermentation, the Castagnino Syrah Cortona by Fabrizio Dionisio aged for several months in glazed cement tanks on the lees.

SYRAH CASTAGNINO CORTONA FABRIZIO DIONISIO: TASTING

Fabrizio Dionisio's Castagnino Syrah presents itself with an intense ruby red color. On the nose, it expresses aromas of plum and ripe red fruits that meet floral hints of violet and notes of juniper berries and dark spices. The taste is fresh and full-bodied, supported by smooth tannins and a long balsamic and spicy finish. It pairs excellently with aged cheeses as well as with succulent first and second courses of meat-based dishes or game.
