Tua Rita Redigaffi 2007
Tua Rita's Redigaffi is not your ordinary Merlot. Only produced from low-yielding vines, the grapes endure lengthy maceration and are aged in small, new oak barrels. An exceptionally rich Merlot like no other, we are thrilled to offer you Tua Rita's Redigaffi from the 2007 vintage.

Tua Rita Redigaffi 2007

The coastal Merlot star of Redigaffi is a pinnacle monovarietal expression, produced in minute quantities that powerfully evoke painstaking artisanal craftsmanship. Italian Merlots like Redigaffi consistently outperform Petrus and Le Pin and further distinguish themselves by delivering substantive and complex expressions that offer lushness in concert with exceptional structure and age worthiness. Despite the fact that the estate received perfect scores of 100 from the critics for both its 1997 and 2000 Redigaffis, little has changed since the time when the first of these provocative and untamed wines exited Tua Rita’s little cellar door and sent Redigaffi far beyond its village. Heightening the Redigaffi’s status is the minute amount of wine produced; the estate’s case production ranges from 350 to 600, depending on the vintage.

An iconic Merlot that has touched aficionados and collectors worldwide, the 2006 Redigaffi is tremendous in its chiseled structure and harmonious layers of fruit and minerals. Dark fruit aromatics offer a preview to the palate’s reading of massive fruit offset by sweet tannins. The structure is finely delineated and promises a harmonious evolution as the wine matures during a cellar period of 2011-2023.
