'Giusto di Notri' by Tua Rita is a tribute both to the church of San Giusto and to the first company vineyard planted in Notri. Classic organic Supertuscan produced with the famous Bordeaux vines: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. In the territory of the Metalliferous Hills, in addition to an exuberant fruit and a dense aromatic persistence, the grapes also express themselves with mineral hints typical of the area, which make their profile particularly elegant. It matures 18 months in French oak barriques and ages in the bottle for a few months. More elegant than powerful red, capable of restoring the peculiar characteristics of the terroir. Important structure, persistent, complex and deep sip, elegant tannic texture, refreshing freshness and mineral notes.

Tua Rita is a winery located in Val di Cornia and which enjoys international fame for the excellent quality of its wines and in particular of some of its labels, such as Merlot Redigaffi. The entrepreneur Rita Tua and her husband Virgilio Bisti bought those lands in 1984 with the intention of moving to a place where they could live in contact with nature, cultivating their own land. Thanks to their irrepressible passion for wine, from the original 2 hectares of vineyards they arrived at the current 30. So called simply by inverting the owner's name and surname, the Tua Rita winery represents one of the first successful Italian realities developed on the model of the "vin de garage", in which all the production processes are carried out entirely in an autonomous and artisanal way: small productions obtained with rigor, competence and seriousness.
The training system of the Tua Rita vines alternates simple spurred cordon with double spurred cordon. The defense of the vines follows the methods of organic agriculture with the aim of helping the plants to defend themselves, first of all guaranteeing the health of the environment and the land. In fact, the use of plant protection products has been abolished. The soil on which the vines grow is mainly composed of skeleton, clay, silt and sand and is rich in mineral microelements. The territorial characteristics of the Metalliferous Hills give Tua Rita wines original ferrous notes and a nice saline character.
In the cellar, where the premises have been recently renovated, the interventions are limited and not very invasive. The selected grapes undergo a soft pressing and are then left to ferment in wooden vats. Once the vinification is complete, the wine arrives by gravity in the barriques located under the vinification rooms. Here the refinement is carried out for at least 18 months. In this way wines are obtained where quality and tradition meet, artisanal and uncompromising expressions of the generous Maremma area.
