The name Tunina refers to the old owner of the land on which the original vineyard is located and it is dedicated to Casanova's poorest lover, a governess in Venice who was known by the diminutive ‘Tunina’ (Antonia). First made in 1973, the wine is a blend of Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Ribolla, Malvasia and Picolit. The best grapes from a close planted 16 hectare vineyard are picked late, about two weeks after the normal harvest. Vintage Tunina is fleshy, rich and ripe and displays a rare depth of vinosity and character. Well balanced with overtones of apple, peach, honey and wild flowers, the palate is full bodied and velvety with exceptional persistence and cellaring ability is up to 10 years, more in the great vintages.
