In the early 1970s, Fabrizio Dionisio’s father acquired 7 hectares of land called “Il Castagno” located close to the town of Cortona in the southeastern hills of Tuscany. It is here that Fabrizio furthers his father's dream to send their roots even deeper into the soil by producing an artisanal Syrah, yielding superlative quality and authenticity.

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
