Wine Description

This youthful offering from Tua Rita is 50% Sangiovese and 50% blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, harvested in September from vineyards in the foothills of Suvereto, a small hilltop village in Tuscany. After a gentle pressing, the wine is aged for three months in French oak barriques and stainless steel tanks.

Acclaim
“Aromas of earth and spices with dark fruits such as plums. Full body, silky tannins and a flavorful finish, as well as bright acidity.”
— James Suckling, Aug 2015
“A juicy, flamboyant wine, the 2014 Rosso dei Notri is bursting at the seams with fruit. Black cherry, plums, sweet spices and mint abound in a juicy, intense wine to drink in its youth, while the fruit remains vibrant. The Rosso dei Notri is not especially complex, but it sure is delicious. Hints of tobacco, plum, herbs, iron and cedar add nuance as this fleshy, fruit-driven Sangiovese-based blend shows off its personality.”
— Vinous, Oct 2015
