THE COMPANY
Tua Rita is a winery located in Val di Cornia and is internationally renowned for the excellent quality of its wines, particularly for certain labels, such as the Merlot Redigaffi. Entrepreneur Rita Tua and her husband Virgilio Bisti purchased the land in 1984 with the intention of moving to a place to live in contact with nature, cultivating their land. Thanks to their unstoppable passion for wine, the original 2 hectares of vineyard have grown to the current 30. Named simply by reversing the owner's first and last name, the winery Tua Rita represents one of the first successful Italian realities developed on the “vin de garage” model, where all production processes are conducted completely independently and artisanally: small productions obtained with rigor, competence, and seriousness.
The vine training system of Tua Rita alternates between simple spur cordon and double spur cordon. The protection of the vines follows organic farming methods aimed at helping the plants defend themselves, ensuring the health of the environment and the soil. The use of phytosanitary products is indeed 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's wines original ferrous notes and a nice saline character.
In the winery, where the facilities have recently been renovated, interventions are limited and minimally invasive. The selected grapes undergo gentle pressing before being left to ferment in wooden vats. After vinification, the wine is transferred by gravity into the barriques located below the vinification area. Here, aging continues for at least 18 months. This results in wines where quality meets tradition, artisanal and uncompromising expressions of the generous Maremma territory.
