Chiarofiore - Tunia

Chiarofiore - Tunia

Chiarofiore is a wine made from white grapes coming from old vines grown in an organic regime. The grape harvesting times take place in 4 phases in order to have grapes with different degree of ripeness. All musts are vinified separately in steel tanks and then assembled. Aging takes place in steel on the fine lees for 12 months, and then in the bottle for another 6 months. Chiarofiore on the nose expresses intense and harmonious aromas of fruity and weed notes. In the mouth it has a slight sweetness, given by the late harvest, but made pleasant by a good acidity and minerality.ity.

Service

We recommend to taste at a temperature of 12/14 ° in tulip goblets. Elegant wine to drink at once but if left a few years in the cellar it can give you great emotions.

Pairing

Great combination with fish dishes, white meats, to try with an amethyst pasta.

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. The wines produced are the Chiassobuio produced with Sangiovese, the Cantomoro obtained with Cabernet Sauvignon, the Rosary Chiaroscuro from Cabernet Sauvignon, the White Chiarofiore macerated with Trebbiano and Vermentino, the Trebbiano Spumante Substrate and a Vin Santo obtained from Trebbiano grapes.
