2017 Tua Rita Per Sempre Syrah

In 1984, Rita Tua and her husband Virgilio bought an estate in Suvereto where two hectares of vineyard belonged. Initially, they did not have the idea of creating a top domain, but their meticulous care for this small vineyard quickly led to a cult status in Tuscany. Because their work proved to be so successful, they constantly purchased vineyards and in 2014 the domain was expanded to 30 hectares. When Vergilio died in 2010, daughter Simena and her husband Stefano Frascolla took over the daily management of the domain. In the meantime, the good reputation of the domain was made worldwide.

The Tua Rita Per Semper Syrah has an ink-black color and intense aromas of black pepper, black currant and tar. Mouth-filling wine with good tannins and a firm structure. Powerful and spicy finish. Parker describes it very appropriately and calls this his "Happy Wine": You take three things - Syrah, sunshine and Tuscany - and magically fit them together to create the Syrah Per Semper 2017 . The Per Semper is dark, exuberant, rich black fruit followed by carefully measured concentration and velvety richness. The Per Semper is also one of the highest scores that the Wine Advocate has awarded to an Italian wine from the vintage 2017.
