Tua Rita![]()
Suvereto is a small, medieval town in the province of Livorno. The estate was acquired by Rita Tua and Virgilio Bisti in 1984. Additional vineyards were planted in 1988, 1997 and 1998 which means that fans of these limited wines can look forward to an increase in production as soon as the newest vines bear fruit.
This tiny Tuscan estate has been the recipient of constant accolades for the explosively rich, full bodied wines produced. As of 1998, Stefano Chioccioli, has been the winemaker at this estate. Stefano is reknown in Italy for his expertise in both the vineyard and the cellar and also works with other high quality producers like Allegrini, I Giusti e Zanza and Fanti.
Tua Rita is known for 2 superb wines: Redigaffi is made from 100% Merlot aged in barrique. Giusto di Notri is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, also aged in barriques.
With the 1996 vintage of Redigaffi, Tua Rita earned its fourth Tre Bicchieri award. The first three were awarded to Giusto di Notr
