Tua Rita

The Tua Rita estate is located in Suvereto, Alta Maremma, in southern Tuscany, and was founded by Rita Tua and her husband, Virgilio Bisti, who purchased a small 2 ha property there in 1984. In 1992 they started bottling their own wine and hired one of Italy’s best consulting winemakers at the time, Luca d’Attoma. In 1994, the first vintage of cult wine ‘Redigaffi’ was produced, from 100% Merlot, and it was when the 1997 and 2000 vintages of Redigaffi was awarded 100 points, by Wine Spectator, that the wine world really started taking note.

Redigaffi is produced under the IGT Toscana denomination and spends 18-20 months in new French barriques. Today, with 57 ha of organically farmed vineyards, Tua Rita is run by daughter Simena and her husband, Stefano Frascolla. In 2020, the estate was ranked 88^th in the Liv-Ex Power 100 list of most powerful wine brands.
