"One of Italy's greatest Merlots, the Tua Rita 2022 Redigaffi is packed tight with sweet fruit, blackberry preserves, sweet spice and toasted oak. This is a fleshed out and generous expression with lots of proverbial fruit stuffing and volume. The oak aging regime includes 80% new wood and 20% neutral oak from various coopers, mostly sourcing from the tonnelleries Orion and de Mercurey. "There is no single recipe. We want to add as many colors to the palette as possible," says proprietor Stefano Frascolla. The idea is to maintain the identity of Merlot, he says, with muscle power and well-integrated tannins. The 2022 vintage accomplishes these goals in a package that is aromatic and rich yet also a little leaner and fresher in terms of finish. The overall message here is elegance."

"Brilliant, rich ruby with purple shimmer. Very clear and memorable nose, appealing mix of dark fruit notes and spice components, elderberries, cardamom and green pepper. Dense tannins characterise the palate, dark berry fruit paired with fine wood notes, still somewhat rough and young."

"The purity of fruit on the nose is really something, with violets, lavender, sandalwood, light white pepper and white roses. Medium-bodied with totally integrated tannins that give a silky texture and a long finish. A pure syrah with lots of class for the vintage. Drink or hold. "
