    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
