From the Suvereto region of Tuscany, Redigaffi Tua Rita 2004 is a pure expression of Merlot, demonstrating the varietal’s potential in a non-traditional Italian setting. The wine was crafted with grapes sourced from high-density vineyards, where clay-rich soils contribute to its structure. Harvested in a classic vintage that ensured optimal ripening, the 2004 release underwent fermentation and maturation in 100% new French oak barrels. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, the wine unveils layers of blackberries, espresso, and exotic spices. Its concentration is complemented by a lush mouthfeel and a vibrant acidity, marking a notable example of Italian winemaking under the Tua Rita label, renowned for its avant-garde approach and commitment to quality.
