Tua Rita Merlot Redigaffi 2021
It is a pure Merlot that owes its name to a small stream that flows near the property. When Rita and Virgilio took two barriques of Merlot out of production in 1994, they perhaps did not think they had created what would become an international cult-wine. An exceptional fruit originated from those vines planted in 1988 in the heart of the estate on a slight slope. Their location, the composition of the soils and the microclimate in their combination gave birth to this unique wine.

Colour

Deep ruby red.

Bouquet

A triumph of spicy and fruity aromas of black pepper, oriental spices, and dark berries, wonderfully accompanied by aromas of cocoa beans, tamarind and toast.

Flavour

The taste is generous and lively with magnificent balance and persistence. It has a very elegant tannic texture with notes of tobacco and liquorice.

Pairing

Suitable for red meat and game dishes. It can also be enjoyed by itself or accompanied by cheeses.
