Note di degustazione
This scorching-hot vintage saw the growth cycle start 15 days early, and that time gap continued all the way through to the harvest. The Tua Rita 2011 Redigaffi is a mature and darkly concentrated Merlot with a strong smoky element. Dark fruit and pressed blackberry are followed by toasted spice, hot asphalt, dried sage and campfire ash. There is an aroma that reminds me of rain hitting a hot summer pavement. On the palate, this 2011 expression offers ample muscle power and fleshy concentration.

The estate's 2011 Redigaffi was just bottled, but it doesn't seem to be showing any reticence at all. Smoke, tar and incense all add a dimension of exoticism as this voluptuous, textured Merlot shows off its personality. Layers of fruit build to a creamy, resonant finish. There is a lot to look forward to here.
The 2011 Redigaffi (one of Italy’s iconic Merlots) is a little shy at first and needs a few extra minutes to warm in the glass. Once it does, it bursts open with sweet fruit, blackberry, dark leather and Oriental spice. The wine is beautifully balanced and enormously expressive. It hits the high notes and the low ones with tip-top precision. I loved the purity of the sweet tobacco and crushed white pepper you get on the seductively long finish. It’s a baby now, and needs more aging time. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2035. Aug 2013, www.robertparker.com
