Tua Rita Giusto di Notri
Wine Description
Giusto di Notri is a Bordeaux-inspired blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc selectively harvested in September. After a gentle pressing, the juice and skins macerate for a lengthy period of 25-30 days to add concentration and depth to the final wine. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels and refined six months in bottle before release.
