Visiting @federicostaderini at @cunastaderini feels like a privilege with every kilometer that brings me closer. The autumn foliage enveloped my journey through the Casentino Valley in a mystical light, and the time spent listening to him share his insights on wine and vineyards was a pleasure I never wanted to end. “CUNA” is a rare and remarkable endeavor, born from the heart of a man who embodies the same values. In a region renowned for Sangiovese, Federico has chosen to place his entire bet on Pinot Noir. Clay and limestone, depth and elegance—these are the elements he sought to highlight, and this is precisely what he achieved, in complete harmony with the deep respect he has for both his land and his craft.
The result is a collection of extraordinary wines that faithfully reflect the terroir, expressing it with unparalleled elegance and distinction. CUNA stands shoulder to shoulder with the finest Burgundies: elegant, deep, complex, captivating, and endlessly rewarding on the palate. Meanwhile, the Abrostine is a wine of huge personality—surprising, rich, dark, bold, and evocative of the forest.
CUNA is an experience of true significance, Federico is an exceptional agronomost and oenologist, and I am simply a girl fortunate enough to have had an unforgettable encounter.
Thank you ❤️
