Tua Rita Redigaffi 2013 is a full-bodied Merlot-based red wine from Livorno, on the coast south of Bolgheri. High-density planting of the vines ensures the low yields that give the estate Merlot grapes such concentration of flavour. In the cellar, winemaker Luca D`Attoma uses extended maceration to optimise colour, flavour and tannic structure. The wine is matured for up to 16 months in fine Burgundy oak barrels. "2013 had a very wet spring followed by a very sunny summer, although rain showers in July and August delayed ripening enough that harvest commenced in early September. The 2013 Redigaffi starts off with some green, leafy notes on the nose, refreshingly herbal, and cool, dark fruits like blueberry and bramble wrapped in smoke. On the palate it is beautifully harmonious with very well integrated tannins. There`s better balance here but with a greener spectrum of flavours and aromas. The wine becomes more perfumed with time in the glass, displaying some elements that remind me of a very classic Bordeaux." Decanter, 2022
The 2013 Redigaffi is one of the more understated versions of Redigaffi I can remember tasting. If opened young, the 2013 needs quite a bit of air, as it appears to still be recovering from its recent bottling. Dark red cherry, plum, smoke, leather, licorice and spices build to an explosive finish supported by beams of acidity and tannin. The 2013 is still sorting itself out in bottle, so patience is key. - Antonio Galloni
