Made with Sangiovese, the 2020 Perlato del Bosco shows ripe flavors of cherry and baked plum. Stefano Frascolla tells me that this grape is especially vulnerable in hot vintages but 2020 actually wasn't too bad in the end. He shows me a picture taken on September 6th of healthy, vigorous green vines. The bigger problems in 2020 were the COVID-19 lockdowns and social distancing protocols. This wine offers soft and upfront fruit. The tannins are more etched in this vintage.
Producer
Azienda Agricola Tua Rita
The demure Tua Rita estate is located in Suvereto, a quaint medieval town found between Livorno and Grosseto. In 1984, Rita Tua and her husband, Virgilio Bisti purchased 6-hectares in southern Tuscany. They immediately planted the land to international varieties – Cabernet and Merlot. The property is now over 25-hectares, and ranks amongst the most consistent producers in Tuscany. Its first vintage was released in 1992, and this was just the start of their worldwide praise and accolades from wine connoisseurs and critics. Tua Rita’s exceptional quality and tiny nature earned it the reputation as one of Italy’s first Garagistes. A term used to describe small Bordeaux producers like Le Pin and Valandraud. Their Redigaffi Merlot has now achieved cult-like status. It was also the first Italian wine to receive a perfect score of 100-points from Robert Parker for its 2000 vintage. Tua Rita’s exciting assortment of reds and whites have almost single-handedly put this bright new zone on Italy’s winemaking map.
