Description
The style of Tua Rita wines, with varying degrees of complexity and according to the intimate characteristics of each individual variety and each specific vineyard parcel, expresses a common element: the ability of each label to convey the character and personality of the terroir of the Colline Metallifere. A blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet, Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, obtained from the youngest vineyards, this is the wine that has always been an introduction to the articulate and fascinating world of Tua Rita's reds.

The couple had a happy intuition planting Merlot and Cabernet because of the two wines Giusto di Notri was born in 1992, which immediately caught the attention of the national and International press for its depth and 'Tuscan-ness' in the glass.

This marked the beginning of an escalation of success for Tua Rita, which over the years led to the expansion and modernisation of the cellar; thanks to the collaboration of her son-in-law Stefano Frascolla (owner of the winery of the same name) and oenologist Dr. Stefano Chioccioli. Today the company extends to about 50 hectares, 30 hectares of which are planted with vines, while production stands at 110,000 bottles, divided between 5 red and 2 white wines. Read more
