Wine Description

This youthful offering from Tua Rita is 50% Sangiovese and 50% blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, harvested in September from vineyards in the foothills of Suvereto, a small hilltop village in Tuscany. After a gentle pressing, the wine is aged for three months in French oak barriques and stainless steel tanks.

Acclaim
“This is extremely bright and energetic with plenty of dried cherry and chocolate character. Hints of hazelnuts. Full body, yet silky and super refined. Wonderful depth and length. Excellent. Mostly sangiovese with some syrah, cabernet and merlot. Drink or hold. Made from organic grapes.”
— James Suckling, Aug 2017
“Aromatic and expressive, this red offers mint, blackberry, black cherry, iron, and earth aromas and flavors. Vibrant and firmly structured, with a lingering aftertaste.”
— Wine Spectator, Oct 2018
