96 points | James Suckling

“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.”

96 points | Wine Advocate

“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.”

96 points | Falstaff

“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.”

94 points | Wine Spectator

“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.”

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.
