Tua Rita 'Per Sempre' 2020

Tua Rita released its first vintage in 1992, and soon began receiving praise and accolades from wine enthusiasts worldwide for its rich, full-bodied wines. In just five short years, its 100% Merlot had achieved cult-like status, receiving outstanding ratings from the world’s most prestigious wine critics and publications. Critic Robert M. Parker Jr. said the 1999 Redigaffi was “as close to perfection as a wine can get.” The following year, he gave the 2000 Redigaffi a perfect 100 score.

Grape Varietals: 100% Syrah

Wine Region: Tuscany, Italy

Tasting Notes: The aromas of red fruits with nutmeg and cinnamon come through clearly as well as notes of light cedar. It’s full-bodied with a tight and focused palate and very, very polished tannins. They feel lightly powdery with good tension before the long and vivid finish.
