About the Tua Rita Redigaffi 2022
Tua Rita Redigaffi 2022 is a monumental and highly sought-after expression of 100% Merlot that marks the pinnacle of the estate's production. The 2022 vintage in the Alta Maremma was characterized by significant heat and drought, which required meticulous vineyard management to preserve acidity and aromatic freshness. The resulting wine is incredibly concentrated, showcasing the profound depth and structural power that has made Redigaffi a global icon. As is tradition, it was matured for approximately 18 to 20 months in 100% new French oak barriques.
On the nose, it offers an explosive and opulent bouquet of blackberry liqueur, blueberry, and black cherry, seamlessly layered with sophisticated notes of dark chocolate, toasted coffee beans, and graphite. The palate is full-bodied and profoundly velvety, featuring a dense, muscular core of dark forest fruits underpinned by the signature ferrous and saline minerality of the Suvereto soils. The finish is remarkably long and resonant, supported by noble, fine-grained tannins and a persistent balsamic lift that promises exceptional aging potential.

98 Points - James Suckling
Aromas of crushed fruit and white pepper with dried lavender and hints of violets and sage flowers. Stony undertones, too. Medium- to full-bodied, tight and focused, with reserve and beauty. And then it grows on the palate with polished and focused tannins that take it to another level. Exudes freshness and length, despite the hot growing season. A sophisticated red and with a long future ahead. Try after three to four years.
97 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
One of Italy's greatest Merlots, the Tua Rita 2022 Redigaffi is packed tight with sweet fruit, blackberry preserves, sweet spice and toasted oak. This is a fleshed out and generous expression with lots of proverbial fruit stuffing and volume. The oak aging regime includes 80% new wood and 20% neutral oak from various coopers, mostly sourcing from the tonnelleries Orion and de Mercurey. "There is no single recipe. We want to add as many colors to the palette as possible," says proprietor Stefano Frascolla. The idea is to maintain the identity of Merlot, he says, with muscle power and well-integrated tannins. The 2022 vintage accomplishes these goals in a package that is aromatic and rich yet also a little leaner and fresher in terms of finish. The overall message here is elegance.
