Tua Rita
Tuscany, Italy
Fln 1984, when Rita and Virgilio decided to buy what was going to become Tua Rita, those lands and buildings were just to be the frame of a place where they could live in contact with nature, cultivating their own land. But their passion for wine definitely changed things. Tua Rita's land is placed on a slight hill with a constant slope, and its soils are mainly composed of stones, rocks, clay, silt, sand, and, above all, a rich set of mineral micro-elements. Enlarged and completely revised between 2000 and 2002 in order to support a high profile production, which today is about 220,000 bottles, Tua Rita's winery follows the footsteps of the great Italian tradition of the artisanal winery. Thus, the enological interventions are few and not very invasive.
