Description
Toscana Rosato la Rosa del Castagno 2020 Fabrizio Dionisio
Variety: Syrah 100%
Pink onion skin load
The nose is fine and delicate with notes of small berries, currants and cassis, then red rose petals. Some notes of spices and powder color it further, for an intriguing and elegant rosé.
If the color and the nose recalled the rosé wines of Provence, on the palate it removes any doubt. The volume expressed is discreet, in any case well supported by the texture of hardness. An accomplished rosé. Good persistence between aromas of blueberry, currant and pink pepper.
Admirable example of Italian rosé, with the class of the great rosés of Provence.
Toscana Rosato la Rosa del Castagno 2020 Fabrizio Dionisio
Fabrizio Dionisio is born in Lazio, but now he is Tuscan by adoption. In fact, since the early 1970s Fabrizio’s father bought the estate in Il Castagno in Cortona. In 1992, with the purchase of a second plot in Poggio del Sole, the farm reached its current land expansion.
The vineyards are located in Cortona, with a plant density of 5000 plants per hectare and a low yield of 40 quintals.
After the harvest, carried out manually in 15 kg perforated boxes, it carries out a partial maceration on the skins, then it is pressed to extract the flower and separated from the skins it is left to ferment with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel.
It carries out the malolactic transformation in the same containers spontaneously and without inoculation, and refines in vitrified cement containers for 6 months.
