In 1984, Rita Tua and Virgilio Bisti bought a dilapidated farmstead near Suvereto. No wine background, no generations of tradition – just a conviction: that the Colline Metallifere terroir can do more than it seemed at the time. The metal-rich, ferruginous clays of these hills between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Apuan Alps bear a fingerprint that no other growing region in Tuscany can replicate: mineral, salty, with a depth reminiscent of both earth and sea. Tierre is Tua Rita's 100 per cent Merlot expression of this terroir – more accessible than the legendary Redigaffi, but with the same soils, the same hands, the same attitude.

2024 was a fresh, balanced year in Suvereto: enough rain in spring, warm summer without extremes of heat, even ripening until September. Deep ruby red colour. Blueberry, redcurrant and violet on the nose, underpinned by minerals and a hint of spice. Juicy on the palate with lots of cherry fruit, chocolate, tobacco and hazelnut – full-bodied with a polished texture and a silky, long finish. SUPERIORE.DE
