Description
In 1984, Rita Tua and her husband, Virgilio Bisti, purchased 37.5 acres of land in Tuscany, planting Cabernet and Merlot. They later expanded to 55 acres, with 45 planted to vines. Their first vintage was released in 1992, quickly earning global acclaim. By 1999, their 100% Merlot, Redigaffi, had achieved cult status, with Robert M. Parker Jr. praising it as “close to perfection” and awarding the 2000 vintage a perfect 100. Tua Rita’s Bordeaux blend, Giusto di Notri, also receives widespread praise, making the winery’s wines some of Italy’s most sought after.
Tua Rita is located in Suvereto, Tuscany, at 300 feet above sea level, on clay and silty soils. Winemaker Luca D’Attoma ensures low yields to produce highly concentrated, exceptional wines.
