Tasting Notes
Colour: Straw yellow
Nose: Bursting with floral notes of lime leaf and hawthorn, along with hints of green apple, citrus and wafts of herbaceousness.
Palate: In the mouth, this wine shows a well-structured acidity and a fruity yet savoury character. The Tyrrhenian Sea’s influence shines through, imparting salinity to every sip, between notes of pear, lime and peach. The medley of flavour is driven along by a juicy acidity, imparting an undeniable freshness to the experience. The finish is pleasantly bitter with hints of citrus rind. This wine will be at its best when served slightly chilled, alongside a plate of seafood, vegetable pasta dishes, or salad.
Grape Varieties: 100% Vermentino
History of Tua Rita
From a small plot of land in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma to international excellence. Tua Rita was founded in 1984, in the heart of the Tuscan Metalliferous Hills, in Suvereto, by Rita Tua and Virgilio Bisti. Originally purchased as a small property with a few hectares of vineyards, the company has grown rapidly to its present size, producing approximately 220,000 bottles per year. Tua Rita’s philosophy is based on producing high-quality wines with a strong connection to the territory and meticulous attention to detail in every phase of production.
Tua Rita boasts 65 hectares and adheres to the principles of organic agriculture because Tua Rita’s longstanding goal is to preserve the health of the grapes and the surrounding environment to the fullest extent possible. Spread over gentle slopes, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, the vineyards are nestled between the land and the sea in the region known as Alta Maremma, specifically within the territory of the Metalliferous Hills. This area is distinctively characterized by its soil, which is rich in stones, rocks, clay, silt, sand, and especially micro-minerals. This unique genetic heritage is reflected in Tua Rita’s wines, which are aromatically marked by pleasant iron notes and, on the palate, by a beautiful saline character.
