    Petit Verdot is a grape variety that the world distrusts. In Bordeaux, it is used as a seasoning – a few per cent, hardly more. Independent, pure, as the main player: hardly anyone dares to do this. Tua Rita dared to do it for the first time in 2017. 60% Petit Verdot from young vineyards on highly clayey soils in the Colline Metallifere, 40% Merlot from 35-year-old vines. "Esuberante e maturo", as the cantina itself says. A duet of exuberance and maturity. The Petit Verdot comes from vineyards planted in 2011 – young, but in a location that needs no apology: iron-rich clays, mineral depth, sea breeze from the Piombino Canal. The Merlot comes from the old plots that have defined the estate's reputation for decades. Hand-picked, fermentation in wooden tanks, then 18 months in French and American oak barriques – the wood as a dialogue, not a monologue.

    Dense ruby red colour. Blackberry, cassis, white pepper, tobacco, smoke and black olive on the nose – complex and of an intensity that one would not expect from this grape variety. Full-bodied, powerful on the palate, with silky tannins, balsamic tones and a long, slightly salty, mineral finish. Petit Verdot at the peak of its potential – and an indication of what Suvereto is still capable of. SUPERIORE.DE

    "The Lodano Rosso 2023 represents a significant evolution of this wine, which is 60% Petit Verdot and 40% Merlot from older vines, including some of the first international grape varieties planted in the Suvereto area. The wine shows a remarkable freshness and a peppery note. We have a more transparent and energetic expression that emphasises the precision, freshness and clarity of the grape variety." Wine Advocate

    "A crunchy and pretty red with blackberry and blueberry aromas and flavors, firm yet polished tannins, a fine texture and a long and creamy finish. Vertical. Sustainable." James Suckling

    "Vegetal at first on the nose, then nutty, then sweet, like the green mallow that hardens into a walnut that then gets sugared and caramelized. The texture is what stands out on the palate, like silk crepe, wrinkled and substantial but then sleek and satiny. All of Tua Rita's wines are unique but Lodano stands out even in that rarefied pack." Wine Enthusiast
