2017 Castagna Un Segreto Sangiovese Syrah 750ml

The 2017 Castagna Un Segreto is a remarkable biodynamic red from Beechworth, blending Sangiovese with Syrah to create a wine of elegance, complexity, and distinctive personality. Crafted by Julian Castagna with meticulous attention, it represents the estate’s pursuit of harmony between Italian tradition and Australian terroir. The bouquet offers lifted aromas of wild cherry, red plum, and dried rose, layered with savoury notes of spice, tobacco, and earthy minerality. On the palate, it is medium-bodied yet concentrated, combining vibrant red fruits with subtle leather and olive undertones. Fine-grained tannins and bright acidity deliver structure and length, finishing long and savoury with impressive finesse. Serving & Cellaring: An ideal match for roast duck, game birds, or mushroom risotto. While approachable now, it will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 10–15 years.
