Tua Rita Perlato del Bosco Toscana Vermentino White

Wine Description

Tua Rita is a winery situated in Suvereto, Tuscany. When Rita and Virgilio bought it in 1984, the land was supposed to offer just the picturesque surroundings in which they would live in touch with nature. Those original 2 hectares of vines have now become 51 hectares.Today, what started as amusing ‘vins de garage’, are wines that are exported everywhere in the world thanks to the marketing of Rita and Virgilio’s son-in-law, Stefano Frascolla.

The wines of Tua Rita all have one element in common: the personality of the earth with its ferrous notes and a penetrating and rapid, progressive development of their flavor.

Acclaim
“Orange blossoms, flint and pears with hints of apples. It’s medium-bodied with a creamy texture and a caressing finish. Pretty minerals and flowers at the end, with just a hint of bitter lemons.” — James Suckling, Aug 2024

About the Vineyard

Perlato del Bosco is the name of the pink marble stone found in our vineyards.

The vineyards are managed with the fundamental objective of helping the plants to protect themselves by guaranteeing, above all, the health of the soil and the environment by employing natural procedures. Tua Rita’s land lies on a gentle, continuous slope, in that strip of land in the Alta Maremma whose name derives from the Colline Metallifere.
