Tua Rita Redigaffi IGT 2019
Tua Rita's truly great wine.
The wine planted in 1988 on the chalky fields around the winery.
In 1994, they decided at Tua Rita to take two barriques of fat merlot and vinify these alone rather than as usual blending it with cabernet for Giusto di Notri. The wine was named after a stream that runs very close to the vineyard. This was the beginning of the cult wine, Redigaffi, which later for vintage 2000 achieved 100 points with Robert Parker.
After harvest, the wine has been aged for 18-20 months in new French barriques.
Redigaffi is a fantastic merlot with great balance and elegance. The wine just has so many layers of dark fruits and there are also tones of chocolate.m
A master wine that impresses year after year.
2019 was an almost perfect vintage in Tuscany, where everything came at the right time. The only downside is the low yield.
