Tua Rita Rosso di Notri, Toscana IGT

Tua Rita produces Rosso di Notri at their estate in Suvereto, within the coastal Maremma region of Tuscany. This wine serves as an entry point to the portfolio, primarily a blend of Sangiovese with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. The fruit comes from younger vines planted in silty, clay-rich soils. It is designed to reflect the warmth of the Tyrrhenian coast while maintaining the high standards of a producer famous for cult wines like Redigaffi.

The winemaking process focuses on accessibility and fruit purity. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness. Following this, the wine matures for three months in French oak barriques previously used for the estate's top-tier bottlings. This brief period of wood contact softens the tannins without overwhelming the grapes' natural character. The final blend is assembled to ensure consistency and immediate drinkability.

The nose offers scents of red cherry, plum and black pepper. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and smooth, featuring flavours of dark berries and dried herbs. Soft tannins and a clean finish make it a versatile choice for a variety of dishes. Rosso di Notri provides Australian consumers with an affordable way to experience the prestige of a world-class Tuscan estate. It offers excellent value for those seeking a reliable daily red.
