Tua Rita, best known for their show-stopping monovarietal Merlot called Redigaffi that routinely sells at release for $300+, makes two other wines consumers should embrace. This one, a blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, should be in everyone’s cellar. It won’t stay there long because it’s delicious to drink now. It delivers a beautiful balance of fruity and savory flavors. Suave and fresh, it finishes with a lovely hint of bitterness, which makes it a perfect choice for a rich tomato-based sauce for pasta. It’s a great bargain. Stock up for your next two weeks of quarantine.
Tua Rita, Toscana Rosso IGT (Tuscany, Italy) 2017
