Castagnino' Syrah Cortona DOC - 2021

Castagnino' Syrah Cortona DOC - 2021

Castagnino is made with 100% Syrah. 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, hand picked (usually from mid-September) and fermented naturally with indigenous yeast. It is a fresh and fruity wine, the flavor profile with notes of plum, juniper berries, floral and pleasantly herbaceous hints. In the mouth it is tasty, fragrant and balanced, has good structure and good concentration, soft tannins, combined with lively and pleasant acidity.

The following maceration on skins lasts about two more weeks. Natural malolactic fermentation (only of the free-run wine, because we never use press wine in our bottles) is spontaneously inducted; then follows
