The flagship wine from Tua Rita and perhaps the best Médoc blend from Italy. The blend consists of 80 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 10 percent Merlot, and 10 percent Cabernet Franc. Aged 18 months in French barriques, 40 percent of which are second use, the rest new.
The nose is ethereal and spicy with bay leaf, a hint of vanilla and juniper, followed by blackcurrant and dark plum. Very concentrated. Then on the palate – bam! Incredibly juicy with lots of blueberries and black cherries clinging to the elegantly structured framework. The wine has the potential to age for a long time but is already simply impressive today. Lots of spice, cedarwood, dark chocolate, blackcurrant, and blackberry. At the end, dried mint lingers, adding an extra fresh kick.
