Rare, exceptional Merlot from the west of Tuscany: deep ruby red with violet reflections. The bouquet is multi-layered with hints of wild berries and blackberries, ripe cherries, but also liquorice and tobacco notes. Very structured and lively on the palate. The silky tannins emphasise the delicate minerality right through to the almost endless finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Invitingly sparkling ruby-purple colour. Rich, appealing nose, rich in blueberries and blackberries, cassis, some dark bread crust, oregano behind it. Full-bodied and compact at the attack and on the palate, rich blueberry and blackberry flavours, grippy, hearty tannins, young but very well integrated, spans a wide range." Falstaff

"The Tua Rita 2022 Redigaffi, one of Italy's finest Merlots, is packed with sweet fruit, blackberry jam, sweet spices and toasted oak. It is a full-bodied and generous expression with plenty of proverbial fruit richness and volume. The overall message here is elegance." Wine Advocate

"In 2022, there were six separate harvests for Redigaffi due to rain and the need for strict selection in such a hot year. Textured and silky, bright and saline, it opens with some intense pot pourri overtones and black and blue berries. In the mouth it's more red and blue fruits, sapid and succulent and underlined by wood, coffee bean and petrichor. Perfumed lavender and violet notes soar overhead. Very youthful, give this some time in the bottle before opening to enjoy it at its best." Decanter

"Aromas of crushed fruit and white pepper with dried lavender and hints of violet and sage flowers. Also stony undertones. Medium to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, with reserve and beauty. On the palate, it unfolds with polished and concentrated tannins that take it to another level. It radiates freshness and length, despite the hot growing season. A refined red wine with a long future ahead of it." James Suckling
