Francesca explains to me that these vines\u00a0planted in 2001 are of French origin;\u00a0the clone is particular, and a virus was introduced to reduce the production. There is one cluster per shoot only and 500 g of fruit per vine\u00a0on average. The grapes are very small. In return, the vines can hardly live beyond 80 years but this is not a concern for Francesca who appreciates the quality of these clusters.<\/p>\n<p>Though the property is surrounded by a metre-high fence, Tunia has a lot of local fauna visitors. \u00a0In the springtime, young fawns and their hungry mothers snack on the baby vine leaves and young grape buds. \u00a0They also return when the grapes are ripe for harvest, with Francesca acknowledging every year she will be short two rows of vines in the perimeter of the property due to the hungry deer.<\/p>\n<p>Large jack rabbits also have a taste for the sweet grape berries, as do the birds! \u00a0When Francesca does her final pass in the vines, it is a race against them to the fruit!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mcnImage\" src=\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/8cc45cf08bf7beaf6f607b870\/images\/baaba2f4-288d-4a29-9d3c-09cc13a0d29f.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"264\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mcnImage\" src=\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/8cc45cf08bf7beaf6f607b870\/images\/0477c61d-7f9a-477b-b966-1a0adb4c28d5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"264\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Photo 1: Healthy Sangiovese<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Photo 2: Sangiovese unable to finish veraison due to ESCA. \u00a0The leaves disintegrated, and were unable to provide photosynthesis to the grapes, hence they couldn&#8217;t ripen.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Harvest Begins &#8211; August 24th, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is a very peaceful and warm feeling in the vines, where the sun gently sets behind the horizon, and sends its last rays to light up the translucent Trebbiano and Vermentino. \u00a0The Vermentino is getting ever more ripe, and has begun to take on its hallmark &#8220;rose-hue&#8221; tint to the skins.<\/p>\n<p>Harvest is scheduled for the following day, and will be nearly a two month process involving a team of 6, who will hand harvest all the grapes. \u00a0The Trebbiano grapes are not &#8220;ripe&#8221; but are picked for their acid. \u00a0They will be later blended with a 2nd and\u00a03rd pick of Trebbiano (skin-contact vinification), and a small quantity of Vermentino. \u00a0The &#8220;game&#8221; Francesca explains, is that all the Trebbiano plants are inter-planted in the 25HA, making for a &#8220;Trebbiano&#8221; scavenger hunt!<\/p>\n<p>Unlike many other typical\u00a0harvests in Europe (two weeks to one month), the last grapes of the Cabernet Sauvignon won&#8217;t be picked until late October. \u00a0Chiara explains that the Cabernet Sauvignon is the &#8220;torture garden&#8221;\u00a0&#8211; it takes 4 hours to clip the tiny bunches in only one row. \u00a0She asks if I would like to volunteer, to which I politely decline.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mcnImage\" src=\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/8cc45cf08bf7beaf6f607b870\/images\/b6c8e4b9-b578-4170-844a-b684306eb85b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"264\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mcnImage\" src=\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/8cc45cf08bf7beaf6f607b870\/_compresseds\/e6bfc3a1-f665-48fc-a0e4-233d1d67b75b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"264\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Photo 1: Trebbiano Clone that has a unique light green leaf set<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Photo 2\u00a0: Trebbiano pips. \u00a0Francesca looks for phenolic ripeness when the seed are espresso coloured, crack in your teeth, and you can chew them 15 times in your mouth without having to spit them out right away<\/em><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 564px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mcnImage\" src=\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/8cc45cf08bf7beaf6f607b870\/images\/0e427609-4708-42d1-8c81-067cc03f034c.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"564\" height=\"450\" align=\"center\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Current Vintages of Tunia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tasting Notes of Wines Currently\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sotto Fondo 2016 &#8211; 100% Trebbiano<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Classic Method sparkling.
