Tasting Notes: The Fabrizio Dionisio l Castagno is from Syrah grown in Cortona, Tuscany, the best place for Syrah in Italy. 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. The wine goes through a natural malolatic fermentation and sits on the lees for 15 months in oak barrels.
