Acclaim
The Tua Rita 2023 Rosso dei Notri is the estate’s entry-level blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese. This year represents the first time that the wine is almost entirely made in cement (with a little bit of stainless steel). This shift gives more prominence to the wine’s primary fruit and general brightness. There is redcurrant, wild strawberry, blue flower and sweet earth. This is an expressive, albeit simple red blend with good freshness to close. — Wine Advocate, Feb 2025
The 2023 Rosso di Notri, the estate’s entry-level red, is a fine choice for drinking over the next few years. Succulent red cherry, tobacco, spice and leather are nicely pushed forward in this refreshing, juicy red blend of 30% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah and 20% Cabernet Franc. — Vinous, Dec 2024
