Tua Rita Redigaffi 2011 is a full-bodied Merlot from the Tua Rita estate in Livorno, on the Tuscan coast south of Bolgheri. High-density vine planting 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. "2011 was a hot vintage, and at Tua Rita they harvested between 16-22 August, one week earlier than usual. This wine still looks and tastes very young. It`s deeply coloured, almost opaque, with a youthful nose of cedar, sweet oak spice, cream, dark fruit, liquorice and very ripe plums. This 100% Merlot is big, bold and bright, with an incredibly lush, velvety texture. There`s an intense fruit and oak explosion on the mid-palate, leading to a firm, dry finish." Decanter, 2018

The estate's 2011 Redigaffi was just bottled, but it doesn't seem to be showing any reticence at all. Smoke, tar and incense all add a dimension of exoticism as this voluptuous, textured Merlot shows off its personality. Layers of fruit build to a creamy, resonant finish. There is a lot to look forward to here.Antonio Galloni1st August 2013
