"Intense aromas of redcurrant, sweet tobacco, lead pencil and terracotta. Medium to full body with polished tannins that are very well integrated into the wine. It is racy and long with lovely mocha and subtle fruit on the finish."

"The 2021 Giusto di Notri consists of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Merlot. Intensity and depth are beautifully emphasised here. This benefits the complexity and flavours. The vintage also offers more freshness and balanced tannins. This is a beautiful wine that is designed for long cellaring."

"Rich, deep, dark ruby-purple colour. Present and rich nose, inspiring with notes of blackcurrant, mulberry and blackberry, spicy cedar wood, some grape sugar. Fine-meshed tannin, unfolds continuously, shows full grip, clear, dark berry fruit, firm pressure on the final, good freshness and juiciness."

"Black currant, blackberry, plum, violet, green olive, graphite and wild rosemary aromas and flavors are the hallmarks of this impressive red, which is lively and refreshing, with dense tannins gripping the long, oak-tinged finish."

Tua Rita Giusto di Notri 2020 has "lots of incense to the aromas with sandalwood and lavender. Currants, blackberries. and fresh herbs, too. Full-bodied and very rich, with a powerful, structured mid-palate and a long, long finish. A wine for the future."

"A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc and 8% Merlot, the Tua Rita Giusto di Notri 2020 is a ripe, bold and generous wine. The DNA of the wine has changed slightly over the years to favor the Cabernet Franc (with an increased percentage) over the Merlot, which has fallen from a previous high of about 35% to 40% of the blend a decade ago. What I like about this wine is that it manages an elegant, almost understated interpretation of a hot and dry vintage. The tannins are especially well managed in this situation.

Tua Rita Syrah Per Sempre 2020 "Seductive aromas of violets, blackberries, blueberries, flowers and sandalwood. Sophisticated. Full-bodied with superfine tannins and good length. Stylish and great. Very well balanced. Hints of sweet tobacco and berries on the finish. You can drink it now, but it will age for decades to come."

"This new vintage is simply great because it combines a sunny growing season with a grape variety like Syrah that thrives in these conditions. The Tua Rita Syrah Per Sempre 2020 offers juicy, full-bodied fruit with lots of blackberry, plum, sweet spice and campfire ash. Stefano Frascolla deliberately avoids any eucalyptus or camphor-like hints. Instead, he focuses on a powerful primary fruit. This is achieved through the ripeness of the fruit, the care of the vineyards and the use of oak. Syrah has a short harvest window, so timing is important. The vineyards are planted on marl soils with slate rock, typical of the mineral-rich hills around Suvereto."

"Sparkling, compact ruby violet. Opens with intense notes of black pepper and galangal, then plums and blueberry. Full-bodied and dense on the palate, showing lots of present, dark fruit, grippy, still a bit rough tannin, hearty and wild."

Tua Rita Perlato del Bosco Rosso 2020 - "The burst of Bing cherry and wild strawberry with rose petals and tar on the nose announces the equally exuberant palate of more fresh berries with earth tones of crushed rocks and topsoil, held up by sturdy but flexible tannins that promise more elegance with age. — Danielle Callegari

"This pure sangiovese is fresh and very focused, with lovely fruit, from cherries to peaches. Medium-bodied with well-integrated, fine tannins. Bright, vivid acidity and a creamy finish."
