The fruity, balanced expression of a Tuscan wine

The estate

Founded in 1984 by Rita Tua and her husband Virgilio Bisti, the Tua Rita estate is located in Tuscany. Modest at first, the estate has grown while preserving its artisanal and organic philosophy. Today, it is run by their daughter Simena Bisti and her husband Stefano Frascolla, together with their son Giovanni, an enologist representing the third generation. Rita Tua also remains present at the estate. Renowned worldwide, Tua Rita stands out for its ability to combine tradition and innovation to reveal the authenticity of its terroir.

The vineyard

Located in the northern Maremma, on the Colline Metallifere near the Tyrrhenian coast in Tuscany, the vineyard thrives at altitudes ranging from 100 to 380 meters. The vines benefit from a clay-limestone soil rich in stones, gravel, and minerals brought by the Cornia River. The coastal microclimate, marked by sea breezes and significant diurnal temperature variation, promotes optimal grape ripening. The estate practices organic farming with entirely hand-harvested grapes.

Winemaking and aging

For the Rosso dei Notri 2023, the estate made a technical choice by favoring vinification almost exclusively in cement tanks, complemented by a small proportion of stainless steel. The absence of oak aging helps limit oxidation and tannic extraction, thereby preserving all the freshness and brilliance of the fruit's primary aromas.

Grape varieties

This wine comes from a blend made up of about 50% Sangiovese, complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah.
