| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nDeep purple in color, Giusto di Notri offers abundant aromas of blackberry, plum and currants with underpinnings of coriander, violet and a touch of vanilla. Lots of incense to the aromas with sandalwood and lavender. Currants, blackberries. and fresh herbs, too. Full-bodied and very rich, with a powerful, structured mid-palate and a long, long finish. Fine tannins, and a silky texture, this is a stunning wine with great aging potential.\r\nFood Pairings - Ideal for barbecued ribs, steaks, grilled meats and medium-aged cheeses. \r\nJames Suckling 97 Points\r\nAbout Tua Rita\r\nRita Tua and her husband, Virgilio Bisti, bought approximately 37.5 acres of land in 1984 and planted it with Cabernet and Merlot. They later purchased an additional 17.5 acres of land, bringing the total estate to 55 acres, of which about 45 are planted with vines. The winery released its first vintage in 1992, and soon began receiving praise and accolades from wine enthusiasts worldwide for its rich, full-bodied wines. In just five short years, its 100% Merlot had achieved cult-like status, receiving outstanding ratings from the world\u2019s most prestigious wine critics and publications. Critic Robert M. Parker Jr. said the 1999 Redigaffi was \u201cas close to perfection as a wine can get.\u201d The following year, he gave the 2000 Redigaffi a perfect 100 score. The winery\u2019s Bordeaux blend, Giusti di Notri, also garners near-universal praise. Little wonder that Tua Rita\u2019s wines are considered among the most difficult to find in Italy. Tua Rita is located in Suvereto, a small medieval town in the Tuscan province of Livorno, on the coast south of Bolgheri. The winery lies at just 300 feet above sea level, on clay, silty soil. Luca D'Attoma, the estate\u2019s winemaker, keeps yields to a minimum to ensure concentration of flavors. The estate\u2019s total annual production is currently just 3400 cases. |
