Tua Rita Keir Bianco

Tua Rita Keir Bianco

Wine Description

Keir Ansonica, a wine that comes from a traditional Tuscan varietal. It is an etiquette that is enriched over the four years of vinification in amphora that started in 2016 with a red berry Keir. It will certainly surprise you agreeably especially because it is a wine that has been neither clarified nor filtered and is a limited series of about two thousand bottles. Keir Ansonica is a new way for Tua Rita to ‘think and do’. Somehow, but still faithful to tradition, Tua Rita wanted to put itself to the test creating something novel.

Keir Ansonica is presented in an elegant Borgognotta (Burgundy bottle) has an alcohol content of 11° and a well-structured, distinct sapidity.

Acclaim
“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.” — Wine Advocate, Mar 2024
