2019 Castagna Un Segreto Sangiovese Syrah 750ml
An archetypal blend, melding the Italian story with the new frontier, manifests as sangiovese and syrah. While some blends are mishmashes, this works exceptionally well.
Notes
An archetypal blend, melding the Italian story with the new frontier, manifests as sangiovese and syrah. While some blends are mishmashes, this works exceptionally well. Riffs on lilac, licorice root, beef stock, cinnamon oak and red to blue fruit allusions, with a perk of tannic edginess and acid brightness across the finish. I’d be drinking this mid-weighter across the earlier to mid-term. Wonderful vivacity and versatility all in one. Among the first fully certified biodynamic addresses. Drink or hold. ~ Ned Goodwin MW
About Castagna
Castagna is one of the leading producers of the Beechworth region.
In 1997, Julian and Carolann Castagna packed up their city life and moved into and caravan on a bare patch of dirt in the Beechworth region of north-east Victoria. Farmed biodynamically from the get go, the Castagnas planted their vineyard with a view to making complex Syrah in the mode of Cote-Rotie and savoury, structural Italian varieties that could compete with their European counterparts.
It's a wildly successful family business that they have built, with son Adam stepping into the winemaking role and a sea of adoring wine collectors awaiting each new release. Castagna wines are true wines of terroir. They taste of where they come from as do all of the great wines of the world.
