Tua Rita Keir Ansonica 2023

12% abv

Vol- 75cl

100% Ansonica (Insolia). These are ancient vines and linked to the palntings on Elba by one-time resident Napoleon who instigated plantings on the island and here on the mainland. Made in Cocciopesto (ancient Roman, mixed aggreaget concrete – literally ‘cooked paste’ ). Tua Rita have the last 5 rows of Per-phylloxera vines from this period!

“Stefano Frascolla and his longtime winemaking consultant Luca D’Attoma adopted some experimental techniques about a decade ago, and these wines from the Keir line are born in that spirit. They add a little extra fun and variety to the portfolio. Made entirely with the Ansonica grape, the Tua Rita 2022 Keir Bianco sees some whole-cluster fermentation and time in amphorae. The bouquet shows macerated sensations with peach skin, dried apricot, pastry cream and honey glaze. This mid-weight white is structured and offers enough white wine tannin to pair with pork or veal roasts.” 2024 – 2030.

Tua Rita stands as one of Tuscany’s most iconic names. Nestled on the Tyrrhenian coast, at the end of a 10km serpentine corridor of the Val di Cornia. it was the success of the estate that put this area, not previously renowned for a celebrated wine culture, in the international spotlight. Located in Suvereto, just south of the famed Bolgheri, the same coastal and stylistic DNA can be traced through the wines. The estate was founded in 1984 by Rita Tua and her husband, Virgilio Bisti, and is now run by their son-in-law Stefano Frascolla and their grandson Giovanni. While the family wanted to produce the best wine they could, they did not have ambitions to create the iconic brand that it is today with over 45 hectares under vines. From their humble beginnings though, they have now created a name of international stature and become one of the few Italian wineries to have multiple 100-point wines. Legendary winemaker Luca d’Attoma, still oversees winemaking - as he has done since the early days of his career and the estate.
