Tua Rita Redigaffi [x] 2022

14.5% abv

Vol- 75cl

“One of Italy’s greatest Merlots, the Tua Rita 2022 Redigaffi is packed tight with sweet fruit, blackberry preserves, sweet spice and toasted oak. This is a fleshed out and generous expression with lots of proverbial fruit stuffing and volume. The oak aging regime includes 80% new wood and 20% neutral oak from various coopers, mostly sourcing from the tonnelleries Orion and de Mercurey. “There is no single recipe. We want to add as many colors to the palette as possible,” says proprietor Stefano Frascolla. The idea is to maintain the identity of Merlot, he says, with muscle power and well-integrated tannins. The 2022 vintage accomplishes these goals in a package that is aromatic and rich yet also a little leaner and fresher in terms of finish. The overall message here is elegance.” 2026 – 2048
97 Points, Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate, Feb 2025

The estate’s iconic Merlot (the first Italian wine to be scored 100 Points on release) is named after a stream near to the property & was first produced in 1994 – then from vines newly planted in 1988. Clay soils predominate here in the mid-slope with some stones and decomposed minerals and pink marble. An assiduous selection of only the very best bunches ripened to peak balanced maturity takes place throughout the growing season & harvest. Fermentation is in steel – a 10 day fermentation followed by 25 days maceration. The 80% new oak used for aging comes from upt to 5 tonnellerie selecting barrels specifically for the vintage. The emphasis is on multiple iterations from each so that a focussed spectrum of oak influences combine to present the fruit at its very best . Aging for 18 – 20 months in these French oak barriques is followed by a repose in bottles before release.

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.
