Description
Tua Rita Redigaffi Toscana 2020Toscana IGT or IGP is the most popular and famous of Italy’s Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT) titles, covering the entire region of Tuscany. The famous ‘Super Tuscan’ wines produced here, led to the creation of the IGT category.Critical Acclaim96 Wine AdvocateI tasted this wine a few times over the course of about four months, and it is lovely to see how well it has taken to bottle. The Tua Rita 2020 Redigaffi is the estate’s headline wine made with Merlot. The bouquet sings with dark fruit, dried apricot, spice, leather and campfire ash. You taste that extra richness and concentration in this full-bodied red. On the palate, Redigaffi is soft and accessible with rich layering and texture. Drink: 2024-2042.96 James SucklingThis has aromas of cigar box, black plums, cherries, mocha and toasted walnuts. Full-bodied with firm, tight and chewy tannins. Structured and deep with polished oak-spice character. Tight for now. Yet very fine and elegant. Finesse for Redigaffi. Give it a few years to show you even more. 100% merlot. Try in 2026.96 Wine EnthusiastThe nose begins sweet and classic, like berries dipped in vanilla and chocolate, and then expands to include a riot of wild herbs. On the palate, the interplay between chocolaty berries and savory undertones continues before a burst of acidity and tannins that are so fine-grained and smooth they’re almost ethereal. It’s magical now but no doubt will be even better after some time. Drink 2024–2038. Alcohol 15.5%.95 Wine SpectatorThis luscious, silky red is introduced by deep aromas of black cherry and blackberry, with hints of chocolate, coffee, vanilla and mineral coming into play as this builds to a long, complex aftertaste. Despite its richness, this has finesse and detail, too. Merlot. Best from 2025 through 2042. 1,250 cases made, 120 cases imported.
