Francesca organizes regular replanting every year to replace the missing ones and increase the yield as it goes along.The soils are calcareous, well draining with some deep clay-veins.Compost amendments produced at the estate are applied in December and January.Luckily, the vines and the region in particular are not very sensitive to mildew. The few copper treatments are blended with an infusion of horsetail, a plant naturally rich in silica.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<figure style=\"width: 564px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"mcnImage\" src=\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/8cc45cf08bf7beaf6f607b870\/images\/e9fbfd47-4bce-46cf-9aab-680627a11136.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"564\" height=\"900\" align=\"center\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">One-month maceration of horsetail infusion.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Frost Prevention &amp; Massal Selection<\/strong><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The whole vineyard is trained at waist-height.\u00a0The frosts in May showed that these high prunings exist with reason: to avoid early frosts, which this year affected only the young vines that had not yet formed. \u00a0All vines planted at waist\u00a0height were located above the frost zone and therefore protected.Francesca and Chiara are aware of how lucky they are to have old vines that have not been cloned. Today, the new plantations are missal selection, chosen\u00a0from the vine material of the domain. \u00a0Trials were carried out last year to plant rootstocks and then graft on vines.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the wound in the region is the presence of deer. Francesca saw 4 young deer\u00a0recently grazing in the vineyards and eating the fresh shoots of the young vines!<\/p>\n<p>These animals are a real plague when replanting because we cannot protect the vines with barriers as we do for wild boars.

The complete package! \u00a0Vinifications are done in stainless steel tanks, concrete and casks, then assembled for maturing.<\/p>\n<p>The estate produces a delicious Vin Santo. The grapes from the old vines of Trebbiano Rosa are harvested and dried in small boxes. Generally in January, the grapes are pressed and the must put into caratello &#8211; small 54-litre barrels. These Caratello wines have staves thicker than the usual barrels in order to resist the pressure produced during the fermentation of Vin Santo.<\/p>\n<p>Fermentation is slow because the must is dense. The &#8220;Vin Santaia&#8221; (wine cellar for ageing Vin Santo) is under the roofs without insulation. Thus, during the winter when it is cold the fermentations stop, and in the summer when it is hot they resume.<\/p>\n<p>Tunia keeps the wines fermenting well beyond the 3 years required by the DOC. The 2010 are still in caratello! \u00a0The longer the maturation time, the finer and more complex the wine. \u00a0A light yeast veil is created on the surface in the Caratello, it is an incomplete veil, closer to some yeast veil &#8220;spots&#8221; and very fine.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that Vin Santo must is also used to make Sottofondo foam, the estate&#8217;s sparkling bubbles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mcnImage\" src=\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/8cc45cf08bf7beaf6f607b870\/images\/08e4c6e6-c14b-46b7-a538-c3601c44e948.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"264\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mcnImage\" src=\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/8cc45cf08bf7beaf6f607b870\/images\/bcb6ac45-5735-4de5-93ca-d7107e14ee42.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"264\" \/><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mcnImage\" src=\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/8cc45cf08bf7beaf6f607b870\/images\/2331aa5a-a715-4852-ab19-5f451f0f82bc.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"264\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mcnImage\" src=\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/8cc45cf08bf7beaf6f607b870\/images\/8bf50c28-c8f3-48b5-83b6-5f931fc21ecb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"264\" \/><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><em>Caratello of Vin Santo &#8211; small 54 litre barrels<\/em><\/div>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Tasting of the wines actually available<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sottofondo 2018<\/strong> &#8211; <em>traditional Trebbiano method, not disgorged<\/em><br \/>\nSparkling orange wine with 5% base wine produced by skin maceration for one month.<br \/>\nPied de cuve from Vin Santo must without yeast.<\/p>\n<p>Good acid, fine bubble<br \/>\nNotes of dried apricot, quince, cedar.
