Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2017 Rosso dei Notri is afforded a careful pre-selection of grapes from the most important vines, and the harvest was particularly limited and selective in this hot vintage. The blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Sangiovese sees a brief fermentation process and just a touch of barrique to retain the signature elements of these grapes. In the end, this Rosso dei Notri emerges as soft and dark but uncomplicated. The fruit is ripe and succulent, all very reminiscent of the 2009 vintage. You can’t beat this excellent value from Tuscany.

Producer Information

Azienda Agricola Tua Rita is a leading Tuscan wine estate located just outside Suvereto in the Colline Metallifere hill country. It is best known for its cult Redigaffi single-variety IGT Toscana wine made from Merlot. The wine is a regular feature in top global auction catalogues, and the 2000 vintage was the first Italian wine to be awarded a perfect 100-point rating by US wine critic Robert Parker.The estate was founded in 1984 by Rita Tua and her husband Virgilio Bisti, beginning with a two-hectare (five-acre) plot at Notri, two kilometers (1.2 miles) due south of the town of Suvereto. This has grown to cover 30 hectares (75 acres) of vineyards, which are farmed organically.The silty, clay- and mineral-rich soils seem to be reflected in the wines themselves, which show hints of saltiness and unique nuances of iron in the aromatics.After harvest, the fruit is hand-picked and transported in small baskets to the winery sorting tables before being fermented in wooden vats. It is then transferred by gravity to the barrel hall underneath, where all wines mature for at least 18 months.
