Contrappunto - Tunia

Contrappunto - Tunia

Contrappunto by Tunia is a red wine born with the idea of ​​producing a lively and graceful wine despite the remarkable structure characteristics of the grapes from which it is obtained. To achieve this objective, different vineyards were identified, and the grapes were harvested with the same degree of ripeness. The vinification takes place in steel with whole grapes with spontaneous fermentation. Subsequently it ages in stainless steel tanks for a year. Contrappunto, by virtue of its vivid freshness and its light and subtle body, can also be drunk at a cool temperature and lends itself to the most disparate combinations.

Servic

We recommend tasting the Cantomore at a temperature of 18/20 ° in balloon goblets. Wine to drink immediately but if left a few years in the cellar can give great emotions.

Pairing

Great match with pasta dishes, red meat as game and braised, to try with a Florentine steak.

Cellar: Tunia

Tunia is a company that rises in Val di Chiana and takes its name from the most important Etruscan God. Founded in 2008 by three young people, Chiara Innocenti and her brothers Francesca and Andrea Di Benedetto. Chiara graduated in economics deals with the business, Francesca biologist and oenologist deals with production and finally Andrea who follows the strategic and commercial aspects. It covers an area of ​​25 hectares, of which 3 are olive trees and 15 are vineyards. 11 hectares of vineyards were planted in the seventies with typical Chianti vines; Sangiovese, Colorino, Canaiolo and Trebbiano. From 2008 onwards, the work was to improve the vineyards through grafts on old plants, thanks to the help of a 75-year-old mage graft, and the introduction of new strains to increase the number of Strains per hectare. Soil management is absolutely biological, also aided by the winds that spin in the area that can contain the attacks of oid and mildew. In the cellar, work is carried out naturally without the addition of any chemical, using only native yeasts apart from a small amount of sulphites at the time of bottling.
