TUA RITA
When in 1984 Virgilio and Rita bought the original two hectares of vineyard, they would never have imagined that from there the Tua Rita winery, located in Suvereto in the province of Livorno, would have extended over a total area of 35 hectares. However, it is true that the irrepressible passion for wine has led to the achievement of this goal. So called simply by reversing the name and surname of Rita Tua, the Tua Rita winery is to be counted among the first successful Italian experiences developed on the model of "vin de garage", in which all the production processes are conducted totally at the artisanal level. Having well understood the immense potential of the Val di Cornia, extended between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Tuscan Apennines, the company philosophy is aimed at obtaining the highest quality without any compromise. Among the rows, the biological regime is fully followed, helping the vine plants to defend themselves by themselves, guaranteeing, first of all, the health of the environment and the soil. Moving on to the vinification phase, the company can now count on completely renovated cellar rooms, from which about 250 thousand bottles are released annually, which are obtained with minimally invasive and respectful of varietal and terroir. Wines, those of Tua Rita, from the unmistakable trait, aromatic connotations from ferrous notes and pleasantly savory tones. Labels that, daughters of technical skills of the highest level, today (speaking for example of Merlot Redigaffi) are among the most quoted internationally.
