Winemaker Notes
Deep garnet in color, notes of ripe blackberries and plums complement undertones of figs, black pepper, and violets. On the palate, it is full-bodied with silky tannins and flavors that unfold into the lush finish.
Pair this wine with Moroccan lamb stew, champignon sauces, grilled venison, or pork chops with a rhubarb-cherry sauce.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Spicy, sweet and full of dark fruit, the Tua Rita 2023 Syrah Per Sempre is a strikingly expressive wine. Syrah can risk allowing structure to overwhelm varietal character, but as proprietor Stefano Frascolla notes, that is emphatically not the case here, making 2023 a particularly successful vintage in this regard. The wine is lively and vibrant on the palate with bright acidity. Winemaking favors an infusion-style approach with whole berries and more skins, increasing volume during maceration to build body without heaviness. The wine grows in dimension rather than fruit weight. Sweetly spiced on the close and beautifully poised, this Syrah feels different from earlier expressions yet is deeply convincing.

James Suckling
Subtle aromas of crushed stones, blackberries, blueberries and flint follow through to a medium body with ultra-fine tannins and a refined finish. Hints of sandalwood and nutmeg with a citrus undertone. Elegant and pretty. Shows a precise and soft hand in the vineyard and winemaking. Sustainable. Drinkable already, but will age beautifully.

Vinous
The 2023 Syrah Per Sempre is a very promising wine. Silky, aromatic and light on its feet, the 2023 is so refined. Black cherry, dried herbs, mint, wild flowers and cinnamon meld together seamlessly. All the elements are so deftly integrated.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
