How does this wine taste?
How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
The drying, grippy feel on your gums and tongue, as with strong tea. It comes from the skins and seeds of black grapes and from oak, and softens with age.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inIn 1984, Rita Tua and her husband Virgilio bought an estate in Suvereto that included two hectares of vineyard. Initially, they did not have the idea of building a top estate from scratch, but their meticulous care for this small vineyard quickly led to cult status in Tuscany. Because their work was so successful, they continuously bought more vineyards and in 2014 the estate had been expanded to 30 hectares. When Vergilio died in 2010, daughter Simena and her husband Stefano Frascolla took over the daily management of the estate. In the meantime, the estate had gained worldwide fame, especially when Parker gave the wine a 100 out of 100 points.
The Tua Rita 2020 Redigaffi is the estate’s flagship wine, made with Merlot. The bouquet is full of dark fruit, dried apricot, spice, leather and campfire ash. You can taste that extra richness and concentration in this full-bodied red wine. On the palate, Redigaffi is soft and approachable with rich layers and texture.
This is a 1.5 liter magnum. Even tastier and has an even longer drinking window .

I tasted this wine a few times over the course of about four months, and it is lovely to see how well it has taken to bottle. The Tua Rita 2020 Redigaffi is the estate's headline wine made with Merlot. The bouquet sings with dark fruit, dried apricot, spice, leather and campfire ash. You taste that extra richness and concentration in this full-bodied red. On the palate, Redigaffi is soft and accessible with rich layering and texture.

This has aromas of cigar box, black plums, cherries, mocha and toasted walnuts. Full-bodied with firm, tight and chewy tannins. Structured and deep with polished oak-spice character. Tight for now. Yet very fine and elegant. Finesse for Redigaffi. Give it a few years to show you even more. 100% merlot. Try in 2026.

In 1984, Rita and Virgilio realized their lifelong dream by purchasing the property that became Tua Rita. The landscape and buildings on this property were just a setting to live in contact with nature while cultivating their beloved land. Their overwhelming passion for wine actually changed their plans. The original two hectares of vineyards have been carefully cultivated since the beginning, this rigorous and passionate care has brought Tua Rita together among the most successful producers. In less than ten years they had expanded the estate to nine acres, then twenty; Today, the totality of planted vines covers thirty hectares. Its growth has been driven by the enduring enthusiasm of Rita and Virgilio and an ever-deepening awareness of the potential of this estate in the area between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Colline Metallifere, known as Val di Cornia.
On the one hand, the estate and cellar grew steadily, driven by the extreme dedication of Rita and Virgilio. On the other hand, thanks to Stefano Frascolla, married to the owner's daughter Simena, the winery's reputation expanded rapidly. Simena also became involved in the family business after Virgilio's death in 2010. The name of the estate is derived from the reversal of Rita Tua's first and last name.
The domain's entry-level wine is 'Rosso dei Notri', a particularly tasty IGP based on sangiovese, cabernet sauvigon, merlot and syrah. 'Perlato del Bosco', on the other hand, is a pure sangiovese under the IGP flag. The domain's signature wine is 'Giusto di Notri', simply a stunning Bordeaux blend of cabernet sauvagon, merlot and cabernet franc. Finally, a pure syrah and merlot (‘Redigaffi’) follow to complete the list. These last two wines are among the very best wines in all of Italy, even the whole world. Unfortunately not cheap, but of an unprecedented complexity, intensity and above all an excellent balanced structure with endless aftertaste
Volle, geconcentreerde Merlot met donker rood en zwart fruit, gedroogde abrikoos, warme kruiden, een vleugje leer en subtiele rookige as, gedragen door rijpe tannines en elegante houttonen. Dankzij die rijke textuur, stevige maar verfijnde tannines en diepe smaaklagen past hij uitstekend bij rundvlees, lamsgerechten, rijke pastasauzen, stoofschotels en gegrild vlees van de barbecue; vooral bij langzaam gegaarde stoofpotten, geroosterd lam of dry-aged biefstuk met een reduction van rode wijn en bij gegrilde bereidingen die de rokerige, houtachtige tonen accentueren komt de wijn het beste tot zijn recht.
