Wine Description

Stefano Chioccioli, renowned in Italy for his expertise in both the vineyard and the cellar, is the winemaker at the estate—and his Tua Rita Syrah is certainly a beautiful expression of the variety. Yields are kept to a minimum to ensure concentration of flavors. Remarkably layered and complex this Syrah is a sumptuous wine possessing superb balance in a full-bodied style. With beautifully integrated tannins and pure harmony in the glass, this wine is a must for every collector of fine Tuscan wines.

Acclaim
The estate's 2007 Syrah explodes from the glass with cracked black pepper, cured meats, blueberry jam and sweet spices. This is a remarkably muscular, full-throttle Syrah that offers exceptional balance and tons of complexity. Mineral-infused black fruit, graphite and crushed rocks are some of the nuances that inform the long, refreshing finish. In 2007, the Syrah is Tua Rita's flagship wine.
— Wine Advocate, Oct 2010
Displays loads of flowers, with licorice and mint combining with crushed dark fruits. Full-bodied, with supersilky tannins and vanilla, blueberry, licorice and coconut flavors on the finish. Long and very polished.
