Dionisio

Their goal is to make absolutely ""artisanal"" wines in the best and most noble sense working manually, at every stage of production, in the vineyard as well as in the cellar, with the utmost respect for the environment, for the earth and creating wines with soul. In the early 1970s, Sergio Dionisio, bought this small estate of about seven hectares in a place called Il Castagno. it is situated in the hills facing Cortona; the property includes an olive grove and a vineyard. Today this small family estate managed by Alessandra and her husband Fabrizio, Sergio's son. In 1992, the acquisition of a nearby plot, Poggio del Sole, expanded the estate to its present size. "Federico Curtaz, Attilio Pagli and Oriol Parés Marcé. Their goal is to make absolutely ""artisanal"" wines in the best and most noble sense of the term, without renouncing the use of the most modern methods and technologies but always and only working manually, at every stage of production, in the vineyard as well as in the cellar, with the utmost respect for the environment, for the earth and for its fruit (and its precious organoleptic characteristics). In short, creating wines with soul, not homologated. The aim was to obtain, hand in hand with the maturation of the vineyards, a great Syrah which could not disfigure in the face of the best in the world, but which was clearly, unequivocally Tuscan, indeed Cortonese, and capable of interpreting and expressing with originality the territory in which it is born, therefore focusing on the minerality, character, elegance and finesse that only deep, ancient and truly suitable soils can transmit to a wine, as well as on the typical varietal notes."
