The 2022 Tua Rita Keir Rosso Toscana IGT is a distinctive Tuscan Syrah from the acclaimed Tua Rita estate, crafted to showcase purity of fruit and site expression through the use of amphora fermentation and maturation. First produced in 2016, Keir represents a more contemporary interpretation of Syrah, highlighting freshness, texture and varietal character rather than heavy oak influence. Its limited production and unique winemaking approach make it one of the estate’s most intriguing wines.
On the palate, it is vibrant and beautifully textured, with flavours of blackberry, raspberry and dark cherry layered with notes of black pepper, cloves, violet and subtle earthy spice. The amphora ageing contributes purity and precision, while fine tannins and fresh acidity provide structure and balance. Hints of cocoa, terracotta and savoury herbs emerge through the finish, which is long, energetic and remarkably refined.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy Syrah with elegance, freshness and a strong sense of place. The combination of amphora winemaking, vibrant fruit and savoury complexity creates a wine that is both distinctive and highly food-friendly. Drinking beautifully now, it will continue to develop over the next 8–12 years. Pair with grilled lamb, duck breast, slow-cooked beef, wild mushrooms or Tuscan-inspired dishes featuring herbs and olive oil.
