93pts James Suckling

Aromas and flavors of crushed berries and cherries. Medium bodied, with bright acidity and a delicious crisp finish.

92pts Falstaff

Bright ruby ​​with hints of purple. Delicately perfumed nose of violets and crisp blackberries, with a hint of vanilla pod. Silky on the palate, with concentrated fruit, harmonious with powerful, well-integrated tannins and supportive acidity until the lingering finish

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby red in color, with aromas of black fruits, namely blackberries, plums and ripe black cherries over more subtle notes of cocoa, licorice and sweet spice. On the palate, the wine is smooth, with silky tannins and bracing acidity, showing structural balance long into the finish.

Pair this wine with prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, spice rubbed chicken, or lasagna Bolognese with béchamel sauce.

Winemaker Notes

This youthful offering from Tua Rita is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 10% Syrah and 10% Cabernet Franc, 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.
