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
“A refined, complex red with blackberry, blueberry and light chocolate character. Medium body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. Lots of black licorice. Delicious now but better in 2015. Excellent value.”
— James Suckling, Oct 2014
SMART BUY: “This is vibrant, showing cherry, black currant, cedar and violet flavors matched to a medium-bodied frame. Harmonious and approachable now, but should improve over the short term.”
— Wine Spectator, Mar 2015
