"You can't beat this excellent value from Tuscany.” Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

"A stunning value." Antonio Galloni, Vinous

There’s a reason this wine is a perennial favorite. A best-of-both-worlds blend of Sangiovese and Bordeaux Varietals like Cabernet and Merlot, this is the perfect marriage of Italian fruit and French structure that I fall in love with vintage after vintage. Upon opening and at first taste there’s a moment of pause while your palette contends with just what Tua Rita has given to you. Is this a beautiful, fresh, full flavored chianti? A delightfully refined Bordeaux? My friends, it’s kind of just both. It’s the beautiful, lush berry and cherry that I expect from top tier Tuscany, effortlessly sliding into the well-crafted finish of St. Emilion. Cedar, tobacco, and chocolate flavors mingle with the lifting, singing fruit to create something that feels both effortlessly perfect and meticulously designed. 

Tua Rita isn’t a big name- yet. But year after year, they continue to produce 96+ point wines that compete with some of the biggest stars in Tuscany at 2/3rds the price (Check out this offering from their top end if you don’t believe me). As critical acclaim continues to grow , I can only assume the cost of this wine will as well. Stock up now before the rest of the worlds catches on!

“The 2018 Rosso dei Notri (a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Sangiovese, with only 30% of the total seeing a brief four months in barrique) is a very fresh and tonic red that surprisingly comes from fruit harvested two weeks later than normal. And Merlot is not always happy to stay on the vines for longer than it has to. It's a fruit-forward wine that was aimed more at freshness instead of concentration, making it a good pair for a simple margherita pizza. You get terrific value here.”  WA

“Aromas of chocolate and dark fruit with hints of blackberries, cherries and hazelnuts. Medium body, fine tannins with hints of herbs and dark fruit, and a lovely finish. Sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon, merlot and syrah.” James Suckling

"The 2018 Rosso dei Notri is an absolute delight. Once again, it is one of my favorite wines in the range. Fresh and fruity, with plenty of Suvereto fleshiness, the Rosso is such a gorgeous wine. Sweet pipe tobacco, cedar and dried flowers add aromatic nuance to a core of red Sangiovese fruit. ” Vinous
