2022 Redigaffi

Tasting notes:

100% Merlot named after a small stream that flows near the property. The first vintage was made in 1994. Aged for at least 18 months in oak barrels. Spicy and fruity aromas of black pepper, clove, blackberry, black currants alongside notes of cocoa beans, tamarind and toast. Full-bodied and ripe on the palate with smooth tannins and an ever-evolving aftertaste.

Producer description:

Founded in 1984, Tua Rita was instrumental in establishing the ‘cult’ status of the earliest Super Tuscans. They have earned a reputation for being some of the best producers of Cabernet and Merlot in Tuscany. Today, second generation winemaker Stefano Frascolla continues to push the boundaries of Italian wine, experimenting with new varieties and techniques.
