The astounding success of Tua Rita is even more shocking and awe-inspiring when you consider their relative youth in the wine world. It shows that few obstacles can truly slow down a passionate, talented winemaker and their team. Tua Rita has accumulated widespread praise for the raw quality of their flagship wines, especially concerning their 100% Merlot varietal. Tuscany’s many reputable wineries make for incredibly powerful competitors, a fact that seems to have only motivated Tua Rita’s creative visionaries. Their wines are often full-bodied and commanding, boasting intense flavor and significant aging potential. It should surprise no one that they’re in high demand among collectors, and that they tend to be hard to procure. If you can get your hands on a bottle or two, cherish them for as long as you can.
