Winemaker Notes

Deep, intense purple in color, with tremendous extraction, Redigaffi is a monumental and beautifullystructured wine that shows how well the nonnativeMerlot has adapted to the area around Suveretoon the Tuscan coast. It offers luscious layers of raspberry and blueberry jam, ripe plum andblackberry, followed by voluptuous notes of dark chocolate, licorice, black pepper, vanilla andincense. Fullbodied,lush, with polished tannins and an extralongfinish, Redigaffi is one of Italy'sgreatest Merlots. A soughtaftergem for collectors and wine lovers worldwide. A true masterpiece.

    Shows violet, cream, mineral, mint and blueberry on the nose. Full-bodied, with fabulous fruit and polished, velvety tannins. The finish lasts for minutes. The balance is wonderful. Deep and beautiful. Hard not to drink now. Merlot. Best after 2012. 830 cases made.

    The 2007 vintage was sunny but not excessively hot, with a few brief periods of rain in July and August. Overall it was an 'easy' harvest of fully ripe grapes, to which Tua Rita still applied a strict selection. The 2007 Redigaffi is beautifully aromatic with a fragrant wildflower quality against a little background of charred toast, followed by smoke, sweet oak-spice, brambles and notes of violet and lavender. On the palate it is bold, with black fruit, plums and a juicy, bright acidity. The richness of the fruit is punctuated by an attractive green olive flavour.

    The Tua Rita 2007 Redigaffi marks a new chapter in this retrospective. Starting with this vintage and moving forward to the younger ones, we start to see the modern or contemporary personality of this Tuscan Merlot. The oak tones emerge with clarity, as do some creamy or lactic notes (with a hint of aged Pecorino). Overall, the wine is softly layered and opulent. There are aromas of dried blueberry, plum and toast mixed in with spicy notes of sumac or cumin. The style may be a little outdated today, but this wine continues to go strong.

Tua Rita, Italy
Tua Rita  Winery Image

Rita Tua and her husband, Virgilio Bisti, bought approximately 37.5 acres of land in 1984 and planted it with Cabernet and Merlot. They later purchased an additional 17.5 acres of land, bringing the total estate to 55 acres, of which about 45 are planted with vines. The winery released its first vintage in 1992, and soon began receiving praise and accolades from wine enthusiasts worldwide for its rich, full-bodied wines. In just five short years, its 100% Merlot had achieved cult-like status, receiving outstanding ratings from the world’s most prestigious wine critics and publications. Critic Robert M. Parker Jr. said the 1999 Redigaffi was “as close to perfection as a wine can get.” The following year, he gave the 2000 Redigaffi a perfect 100 score. The winery’s Bordeaux blend, Giusti di Notri, also garners near-universal praise. Little wonder that Tua Rita’s wines are considered among the most difficult to find in Italy. Tua Rita is located in Suvereto, a small medieval town in the Tuscan province of Livorno, on the coast south of Bolgheri. The winery lies at just 300 feet above sea level, on clay, silty soil. Luca D'Attoma, the estate’s winemaker, keeps yields to a minimum to ensure concentration of flavors. The estate’s total annual production is currently just 3400 cases.

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.
