Castagna Un Segreto (case of 6)

Julian and Carolann Castagna were running one of Sydney’s most successful film production houses. Julian had worked in the film industry as a Film Director all his working life but had become besotted by fine wine while working in London. Carolann was a Writer.
They decided to plant a vineyard in a place in Australia not yet universally recognised as a major viticultural area but one that Julian believed would be perfect for Syrah. Julian also believed that Italian varieties had great potential in the same place, so Sangiovese was also a possibility. Thus Syrah was planted, and later Sangiovese. 
Un Segreto (Secret in Italian) is a blend of 60% Sangiovese and 40% Syrah. It has and intense nose of blackberries, plums, and dark cherries, with hints of tobacco and earthiness. The flavours are rich and concentrated and include blackberries and blackcurrants, with notes of dark chocolate and spices.
