Tua Rita

Rosso dei Notri

This youthful offering from Tua Rita is a blend of 50% Sangiovese and 50% a blend of international varieties. The vineyards are located in the foothills of Suvereto, a small hilltop village on the Tuscan coast. The grapes are harvested in September and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The Sangiovese is aged in stainless steel to retain the variety's crisp, refreshing fruit character while the other varieties are aged in French oak barriques to add subtle structure to the wine.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby red in color, Rosso dei Notri displays sumptruous notes of cassis, blackcurrant and dark cherry with undertones of fig, mocha and violets. On the palate, the wine shows perfect structural balance with lovely integration of flavors.

Food Pairing

Rosso dei Notri pairs well with meaty pastas, cured meats, hearty casseroles or granular cheeses.
