Linfa was born from the desire to explore a different dimension of Syrah, the umpteenth version in which this grape variety can be interpreted and declined, in red vinification (oh yes, because we also vinify it in white... and thus our beloved Rosa del Chestnut and Bolla Galeotta). After Castagno (the iconic wine of our company) and Cuculaia (our cru) which are aged for a long time in our barrique cellar, partly in wooden barrels of different sizes made for us by friendly master coopers, and partly in old barrels cement tanks that have always belonged to our cellar and have been perfectly refurbished through the patient work of invaluable craftsmen, acquiring extraordinary elegance, depth and complexity, and the "Castagnino", raised entirely (for a shorter period) exclusively in cement barrels, for safeguarding its bare, wild and fragrant profile, favoring varietal identity, immediacy and ease of drinking over complexity, I felt the need to discover how my Syrah could express itself by being born and growing in symbiosis with another material that fascinates me , like wood and cement, and which rightfully belongs to the most ancient, and natural, history of wine… and of man.

Chestnut is the wine I've always wanted to make, the main wine, in a certain sense the symbol, the icon of our company and, in my heart, of Cortona Syrah. The only wine I made until a few years ago. It is made (like all our wines) only with Syrah grapes grown in our Cortona vineyards, all characterized by very low yields per hectare (maximum 50 quintals from 5,000 plants), rigorously selected, with extreme care, during the entire vintage, in particular before and during the harvest (which for this wine usually takes place in the last ten days of September, in search of perfect phenolic maturity), harvested exclusively by hand in small perforated boxes of 15 kilos each.

Cuculaia aims to be a living oenological experiment, a journey towards the extreme frontier of quality, in search of the limit which Syrah can push in the terroir of Cortona. It is produced only in years considered excellent, exclusively with Syrah grapes grown in our vineyard of the same name, part of the Il Castagno farm, distinguished by a soil with unique characteristics and particularly low yields per hectare (maximum 40 quintals from 5,000 plants), selected with care throughout the year (especially before and during the harvest) expressly to make this wine.
