Description
Tua Rita was founded in 1984 by Rita Tua and Virgilio Bisti in Suvereto, Tuscany, and is renowned for its exceptional wines. "Redigaffi" is their flagship wine, a pure Merlot made from vines planted in 1988 on clay-siliceous soils. The wine was first produced in 1994 when two barrels of Merlot were set aside, unknowingly creating what would become an iconic wine. The name "Redigaffi" comes from a small stream running through the estate. With controlled yields and careful winemaking, "Redigaffi" embodies the excellence of Merlot in Tuscany.
