Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: A pure expression of Sangiovese, the Tua Rita 2019 Perlato del Bosco comes from what Stefano Frascolla calls “an odd but ultimately very easy vintage” in terms of farming. This is a historic entry-level red that has been made since 1992 and is closing in on its 30th anniversary. The wood regime that favors large oak cask was tweaked in 2002, and the wine delivers lots of primary intensity and varietal purity in its current incarnation. This is one of the most Sangiovese-tasting Sangioveses made on the Tuscan Coast, with wild berry, cherry and blue flower.

• Wine Spectator: Perfumed, with sweet-berry and orange-peel aromas follow through to a medium body with firm tannins and a tangy, lightly bitter orange undertone.

Producer Information

Azienda Agricola Tua Rita is a leading Tuscan wine estate located just outside Suvereto in the Colline Metallifere hill country. It is best known for its cult Redigaffi single-variety IGT Toscana wine made from Merlot. The wine is a regular feature in top global auction catalogues, and the 2000 vintage was the first Italian wine to be awarded a perfect 100-point rating by US wine critic Robert Parker.The estate was founded in 1984 by Rita Tua and her husband Virgilio Bisti, beginning with a two-hectare (five-acre) plot at Notri, two kilometers (1.2 miles) due south of the town of Suvereto. This has grown to cover 30 hectares (75 acres) of vineyards, which are farmed organically.The silty, clay- and mineral-rich soils seem to be reflected in the wines themselves, which show hints of saltiness and unique nuances of iron in the aromatics.After harvest, the fruit is hand-picked and transported in small baskets to the winery sorting tables before being fermented in wooden vats. It is then transferred by gravity to the barrel hall underneath, where all wines mature for at least 18 months.
