Azienda Agricola Tua Rita was founded in 1984 by Rita Tua and her husband Virgilio Bisti, and is located just outside the small town Suvereto in the Tuscan province of Livorno. It all began with a two-hectare plot and has grown to cover 30 hectares of vineyards, which are farmed organically.
Wine
Giusto di Notri is a Bordeaux-inspired blend selectively harvested in September. After a gentle pressing, the juice and skins macerate for a lengthy period of 25-30 days to add concentration and depth to the final wine. The wine is then aged for 18-20 months in French oak barrels and refined six months in bottle before release.
Location of Vineyard
Tua Rita is located in Suvereto, a small medieval town in the Tuscan province of Livorno, on the coast south of Bolgheri. The winery lies at just 300 feet above sea level, on clay, silty soil.
Winemaking and Viticulture Philosophy
Luca D’Attoma, the estate’s winemaker, keeps yields to a minimum to ensure concentration of flavours. The estate’s total annual production is currently just 3400 cases.
Food Pairing: Perfect with beef and venison dishes.
