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
“Tua Rita's 2012 Rosso di Notri is a standout. Dark red cherry and plum notes meld into licorice, tobacco and smoke in a wine of power and length. Readers looking for a drop-dead gorgeous, delicious Maremma wine that won't break the bank should check out the Rosso. In 2012, Rosso di Notri is 50% Sangiovese, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah.”
— Antonio Galloni, Aug 2013
“An expressive red, boasting floral, raspberry and strawberry flavors, with accents of tea and tobacco. This is well-balanced despite the dense tannins, lingering with a tea-like finish.”
— Wine Spectator, Mar 2015
