A rare, exceptional Merlot from western Tuscany: a deep ruby red with violet highlights. The bouquet is complex, with hints of wild berries and blackberries, ripe cherries, as well as notes of liquorice and tobacco. Very well-structured yet lively on the palate. The silky tannins emphasise the delicate minerality right through to the almost endless finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"An inviting, sparkling ruby-violet colour. A rich, appealing nose, full of blueberries and blackberries, cassis, a hint of dark bread crust, with a hint of oregano in the background. Full-bodied and compact on the palate, with rich notes of blueberries and blackberries; firm, hearty tannins that are young but very well integrated, creating a broad, sweeping structure." Falstaff

"Juicy black currant and blackberry fruit is accented by vanilla and toasty oak in this balanced yet well-structured red. Hints of earth and iron add depth as the tannins on the finish suggest this should develop well." Wine Spectator

"The 2022 Redigaffi is packed with dark red cherry fruit, plum, blood orange, spices, cedar and new leather. Exotic floral notes develop after a little time in the glass. The robust tannins suggest that some ageing is advisable. The 2022 is an outstanding Redigaffi." Vinous

"The Tua Rita 2022 Redigaffi, one of Italy's finest Merlots, is bursting with sweet fruit, blackberry jam, sweet spices and toasted oak. It is a full-bodied and generous wine with plenty of proverbial fruitiness and volume. The overall impression here is one of elegance." Wine Advocate

"In 2022, there were six separate harvests for the Redigaffi, as there was a great deal of rain and, in such a hot year, strict selection was necessary. Textured and silky, light and salty, it opens with some intense potpourri overtones and black and blue berries. On the palate, the focus is more on red and blue fruits, flavourful and juicy, underpinned by wood, coffee beans and a hint of petrol. Fragrant notes of lavender and violets waft across the palate. It is very youthful and should be left to rest in the bottle for some time before opening to show itself at its best." Decanter

"Aromas of crushed fruit and white pepper, with dried lavender and hints of violets and sage blossoms. There are also stony undertones. Medium to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, with depth and elegance. On the palate, it unfolds with polished and concentrated tannins that take it to another level. It exudes freshness and length, despite the hot growing season. A refined red wine with a long future ahead of it." James Suckling
