Cellar
The Tua Rita wine cellar is a true excellence in the Tuscan region. Rita Tua and her husband Virgilio began their journey into the wine world with 2 hectares of vineyards in 1984. From the original 2 hectares of vineyard, cultivated with the utmost rigour right from the start and which placed Tua Rita among the first happy Italian experiences built on the 'vin de garage' model, in the space of about ten years they grew to 9, then to 20, at the beginning of the new millennium, to arrive at the current 30 hectares of vineyards. Enlarged and completely overhauled between 2000 and 2002 to support a high-profile production, which now stands at 220,000 bottles, Tua Rita's wine cellar obeys operational requirements first and foremost, in the great Italian tradition of the artisanal winery. Few and unobtrusive, moreover, are the oenological interventions. Annual production oscillates around 250-280 thousand bottles. The company produces both red and white wines, all with an extremely elegant and personalised style.
Description
The award-winning red wine 'Per Sempre' from the Tua Rita winery comes from a Syrah vineyard in the Colline Metallifere area of the upper Maremma. It is one of the winery's top wines with a very limited production run. An extraordinary wine much loved by Virgilio, founder of the winery. When anyone asked Virgilio which of the wines he preferred, he would answer without hesitation: 'Syrah, forever'.
Organoleptic characteristics:
