  Deep dark reddish-purple opaque in color. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of blackberries, dark cherries & currants with overtones of earthy/dusty & some floral notes of violets, dried herbs, anise, cocoa, spices, leather, tobacco, olives, minerals, a hint of cedar in the background. Medium-full to full bodied with a very good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & mulberries with cocoa, spices, herbs, minerals & a touch of oak/vanilla. Lingering smooth finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting but it is close to it peak of development although it should hold there for a few more years. An indicative blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon & Cabernet Franc.

  26022023 - 5 ⭐️ luncheon hosted by SKT with 14 bottles of wines & 2 aged cognacs. Our 1st round of 3 bottles tasted blind curated by SKT. Horizontal 2010 from 3 great producers. This is my fav for round 1. Stewed cherries, baked red berries, tobacco & some licorice. Beautifully integrated tannins with very balanced texture & mouthfeel. Elongated intensity with plenty of minerality & some dark spices towards the finish

  Dégustation PARTY Super Bowl LVII avec les FOUDUVIN de l'Estrie (Chez René à Sherbrooke): Bu avec les pizzas, les 2 ont fait un beau marriage.
  Beau super Toscan fait de Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon et Cabernet Franc.
  Il y a des similarités avec le Canon, bien souple
  au fruit croquant sur une finale longue et sans accroc.
  uper accord avec les pizzas.
  Fabuleux.
  Infos sur le domaine (en anglais):
  The Tua Rita domaine is located in Suvereto, in the province
  of Livorno in Tuscany and spans some thirty hectares.
  It has been owned by Rita Tua and Virgilio Basti since 1984.
  This vineyard is renowned and has been singled out by the
  Revue du vin de France magazine and Robert Parker;
  it ranks among the top 100 domaines in the world.
  It owes its reputation to two grandes cuvées in particular:
  its Redigaffi and its 100% Syrah.
  Overview Estate Owned by: Rita Tua and Virgilio Bisti
  Wine Region: Toscana Winemaker: Luca d'Attoma Total
  Acreage Under Vine: 75 Estate Founded:
  1984 Winery Production: 150,000 Bottles.
  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 clayey,
  silty soil. The farm comprises 138 acres, 75 of which are
  under vine.
  
  Tua Rita was established in 1984 by Rita Tua and
  her husband Virgilio Bisti. They wanted a quite retreat to
  spend their retirement and cultivate the land. Planted
  it with Cabernet and Merlot. Vineyard management and
  winemaking were immediately entrusted to Luca D’Attoma.
  Thanks to the collaboration of their son-in-law, Stefano Frascolla,
  and of oenologist Dr. Stefano Chioccioli the winery today
  extends over 138 acres, of which 75 are vines. In 2010,
  Virgilio passed away. Today, the winery is run by Rita,
  her daughter Simena, Stefano Frascolla, and a staff of
  young and active people.
  Released its first vintage in 1992 Most famed for their tiny
  production of pure Merlot (Redigaffi) and Bordeaux blend
  (Giusto di Notri). Critic Robert M. Parker Jr. said the 1999 Redigaffi
  was “as close to perfection as a wine can get.
  ” The 2000 Redigaffi was the first Italian wine to obtain a score
  of 100/100 from Robert Parker, enabling Tua Rita to be added
  to the list of the 100 best wineries of the world according
  o the prestigious Revue du Vin de France.
  The unique terroir of Suvereto (hot climate and coastal winds),
  together with Tua Rita’s uncompromising high standards in
  winemaking and grape growing, yield wines of high stature
  and consistent acclaim.
  Winemaker Luca d’Attoma Received his degree
  from the school for Oenology and Wine Making in Conegliano
  in 1985 with a dissertation on fermentation blocks and reactivation
  with yeast. Served his apprenticeship at Azienda Agricola Bellavista
  in Franciacorta and subsequently went on to work with Sartorius
  Gmbh for whom he carried out a project on microfiltration and
  microbiological analysis. From 1989-1992, Luca worked in Chianti
  Classico, San Gimignano and Chianti. In 1991 he was consulting
  winemaker in Tuscany for Azienda Agricola Le Macchiole, Tua Rita,
  and Azienda CAV. G.B. Bertani. Luca set up his own company in 1999.

  Un vin grandement bonifié avec qq années de plus.
  Cerise noire en ouverture.
  Puis, on dénote basilic, noix de pin et un arôme fleural que je n’ai pu identifier.
  Excellent
