Wine Description

This youthful offering from Tua Rita is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 10% Syrah and 10% Cabernet Franc, 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
“The textured, umami nose features notes of balsamic, mushrooms, coffee and graphite, while an undertone of a medicinal cherry quality provides some freshness. On the palate, a streak of salinity lifts up the cherry element to create a contagious feeling of joy that lasts through the warm finish, like a sleigh ride that ends with hot cocoa.” — Wine Enthusiast, Apr 2024
“A bright, focused red, offering cherry, raspberry, floral and earth flavors. Fluid and graceful, this leaves a light coating of tannins on the tangy finish.”
— Wine Spectator, Oct 2023
