Tunia's first wine, born from the old 1970 vineyards that line the namesake stream. An elegant, deep red: an authentic expression of Sangiovese.
It is the first wine produced by Tunia, and borrows its name from the stream that borders our vineyards. It comes from old vineyards, historically used to make Chianti, planted in 1970 and recovered through careful improvement work. In these old plantings, Sangiovese, Colorino, Canaiolo and Trebbiano vines grow side by side; traditionally their grapes were vinified together, as prescribed by the Chianti recipe drawn up by Baron Ricasoli in 1872 to obtain "the perfect wine". In Chiassobuio we chose not to use the Trebbiano, but we do harvest and vinify the red grapes together.
Vinification takes place half in steel and half in 25 hL oak vats.
For ageing we follow the same line: for 36 months half the wine rests in steel and the other half in wood.
This is followed by long bottle ageing, to tame the somewhat unruly character of Sangiovese: high acidity and initially angular tannins.
Not very intense garnet red.
Balsamic notes (juniper), earthy, undergrowth, fresh mushrooms, red fruits, dark chocolate, leather, tobacco.
Soft tannins, good acidity, great elegance.
Max 18°C
Tunia's Cabernet Sauvignon speaks Tuscan. A wine of great structure and persistence, made harmonious by long years of ageing.
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.
