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 has so many layers of dark fruit, and an aftertaste that just keeps going.
A masterful wine that impresses year after year.

I tasted this wine a few times over the course of about four months, and it is lovely to see how well it has taken to bottle. The Tua Rita 2020 Redigaffi is the estate's headline wine made with Merlot. The bouquet sings with dark fruit, dried apricot, spice, leather and campfire ash. You taste that extra richness and concentration in this full-bodied red. On the palate, Redigaffi is soft and accessible with rich layering and texture.
