Tunia's Cabernet Sauvignon speaks Tuscan. A wine of great structure and persistence, made harmonious by long years of ageing.
In our vineyard there are three and a half hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon planted in 2001. The chosen clones come from a French nursery that selected them for their low yields in favour of high grape quality. These vines, although used to a different climate, were quick to adapt to Tuscan soils.
Cantomoro is made from pure Cabernet Sauvignon. The harvest takes place rather late, around mid-October, to reach perfect ripeness so that the grapes can give a wine with fruity and balsamic notes, perfectly in harmony with the typical herbaceous hints. Half of the grapes ferment in steel, the other half in a 25-hectolitre oak vat. The skins are very thick and allow fairly long macerations.
Fermentation is followed by 36 months of ageing between the wooden vat, steel tanks and 3-hectolitre tonneaux.
Before Cantomoro reaches our glasses it rests for many years in the bottle.
Very intense garnet red.
Blueberry, caramel, tomato leaf, white pepper, eucalyptus, rhubarb.
Velvety tannins, full sensation and long persistence.
Max 18°C
Tunia's first wine, born from the old 1970 vineyards that line the namesake stream. An elegant, deep red: an authentic expression of Sangiovese.
ROSSOTUNIA was born from the desire to highlight the fresher, more carefree soul of Sangiovese without sacrificing the identity of its terroir.
Tunia's Cabernet Sauvignon in its most intense expression. Late harvest, long maturation: a wine of great structure and persistence.
