A macerated white of extraordinary complexity. Four different harvests blended after a year on fine lees: a wine that defies every category.
An elegant, lively white with the characteristic orange hue that places it, indeed, among the orange wines. Its appearance comes both from fermentation on the skins, as if it were a red, and from the use of our Trebbiano, whose bunches turn pink at full ripeness. The end result is an amber wine with pink reflections.
Chiarofiore is the result of four different harvests, each with its own vinification. The first takes place at the end of August with Trebbiano grapes not yet perfectly ripe, to obtain a wine with high acidity, and we let them ferment without skins. In mid-September we pick the Vermentino at full ripeness and macerate it for about a month. At the end of September comes a new harvest of fully ripe Trebbiano, this time fermented on the skins. Finally, in November, a late harvest of Trebbiano, whose bunches are by now slightly dried and partly touched by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea). This last portion is also macerated.
The four harvests are vinified separately, all in steel. After a year of ageing on the fine lees, we blend the wines before bottling, without fining or filtering.
Unusual amber colour for a white wine.
Spicy notes (clove), almond, dried apricot, orange peel.
Acidity, minerality, slight tannic astringency balanced by softness. Great structure and persistence.
14°C
A light, easy-going orange wine, born from the by now well-established pairing of pink Trebbiano and Vermentino.
Tunia's first wine, born from the old 1970 vineyards that line the namesake stream. An elegant, deep red: an authentic expression of Sangiovese.
Tunia's Cabernet Sauvignon speaks Tuscan. A wine of great structure and persistence, made harmonious by long years of ageing.
