Tua Rita Merlot Redigaffi 2018
A pure Merlot that owes its name to a small stream that flows near the property. When Rita and Virgil took two Merlot barriques out of production in 1994, they probably didn't think they had created what would become an International cult-wine. From those vineyards planted in 1988, in the heart of the company on a slight slope, an exceptional fruit was born. Their position, the composition of the soil and the microclimate in their combination had given rise to this unique wine.

Colour

Intense ruby red.

Bouquet

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

Flavour

The taste is generous, pounding, with magnificent balance and persistence, with a very elegant tannic texture with notes of tobacco and licorice.

Pairing

Suitable for red meat and game dishes, it can be considered a meditation wine, to be consumed at the end of a meal, perhaps accompanied by cheese.
