Description

The 2021 Tua Rita Redigaffi is an iconic Super Tuscan from Toscana IGT, crafted from 100% Merlot and regarded as one of Italy’s benchmark wines. The nose is deep and complex, showing black cherry, plum and dried blackberry, layered with notes of spice, tobacco, espresso and subtle oak.

On the palate, it is full-bodied with a silky, velvety texture and fine, powerful tannins. Concentrated dark fruit and savoury elements are balanced by freshness, leading to a long, structured and elegant finish with exceptional ageing potential.

Ben’s Recommendation:
A world-class Merlot for collectors and fans of Bordeaux or Napa Cabernet. Best decanted if drinking now or cellar for 10–20 years. Perfect with steak, lamb or rich, luxurious dishes.

About the region

Tuscany

Tuscany, or Toscana, is Sangiovese country. The grape is high in acid and tannin, savoury rather than sweet-fruited, and it changes with altitude and soil: firm and red-fruited in the hills of Chianti Classico, broader and longer-lived at Montalcino where it becomes Brunello. On the coast at Bolgheri the rules loosen and Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot take over, and it is there that several of the wines once labelled Super Tuscan were made.
