Toscana IGT 'Lodano Rosso' 2020 (750 ml.) - Tua Rita
'Lodano Rosso' by Tua Rita is the union of a large and exuberant Petit Verdot with a more mature Merlot. A harmonious balance between two excellent grapes (60% Petit Verdot, 40% Merlot) bred in organic farming and left to mature for about 18 months in new and second-use French wooden barriques, and in small American oak barrels, to give the wine softness and elegance and a resolutely modern style. Intense, pleasant and highly drinkable wine, with a herbaceous, floral, fruity and finely spiced aroma. With pleasant balsamic tones, long persistence and light savory finish.

Tua Rita is a winery located in Val di Cornia and which enjoys international fame for the excellent quality of its wines and in particular of some of its labels, such as Merlot Redigaffi. The entrepreneur Rita Tua and her husband Virgilio Bisti bought those lands in 1984 with the intention of moving to a place where they could live in contact with nature, cultivating their own land. Thanks to their irrepressible passion for wine, from the original 2 hectares of vineyards they arrived at the current 30. So called simply by inverting the owner's name and surname, the Tua Rita winery represents one of the first successful Italian realities developed on the model of the "vin de garage", in which all the production processes are carried out entirely in an autonomous and artisanal way: small productions obtained with rigor, competence and seriousness.
The training system of the Tua Rita vines alternates simple spurred cordon with double spurred cordon. The defense of the vines follows the methods of organic agriculture with the aim of helping the plants to defend themselves, first of all guaranteeing the health of the environment and the land. In fact, the use of plant protection products has been abolished. The soil on which the vines grow is mainly composed of skeleton, clay, silt and sand and is rich in mineral microelements. The territorial characteristics of the Metalliferous Hills give Tua Rita wines original ferrous notes and a nice saline character.
In the cellar, where the premises have been recently renovated, the interventions are limited and not very invasive. The selected grapes undergo a soft pressing and are then left to ferment in wooden vats. Once the vinification is complete, the wine arrives by gravity in the barriques located under the vinification rooms. Here the refinement is carried out for at least 18 months. In this way wines are obtained where quality and tradition meet, artisanal and uncompromising expressions of the generous Maremma area.

Località Notri, 81 - 57028 Suvereto (LI), Italy

Taste: generous, with noble tannins embellished with balsamic tones. Long persistence and light sapidity in the finish.
