Winemaker 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.
Blend: 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 20% Syrah, 20% Cabernet Franc

Cherry and blueberry with lavender and fresh rosemary. Medium-bodied with fine, caressing tannins and a savory yet crisp, vivid finish. Wish more restaurants had this by the glass. A blend of 30% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 20% syrah and 20% cabernet franc.

Vinous
Tua Rita’s 2025 Rosso dei Notri is a standout. A burst of dark red/purplish fruit, mocha, rose petal, cinnamon and blood orange convey the generous embrace of the Tuscan coast. Plush contours wrap it all together. Vinification and aging in cement keep the flavors bright in this racy red blend.
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.
