In 1992 they started bottling their own wine and hired one of Italy’s best consulting winemakers at the time, Luca d’Attoma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, with 57 ha of organically farmed vineyards, Tua Rita is run by daughter Simena and her husband, Stefano Frascolla.

The vineyards benefit from a warm Mediterranean climate tempered by sea breezes, while the soils are predominantly stony and clay-rich, with a high mineral content that encourages concentration and balance. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by ageing in French oak barriques for around 18 months before further refinement in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine reflects its coastal origins through a combination of ripe dark berry fruit, savoury herbal notes, and a firm mineral backbone. Structured yet polished, it shows fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity supporting a medium- to full-bodied frame, with a sense of harmony and elegance that underlines Giusto di Notri’s reputation as one of Tuscany’s most refined Bordeaux-style blends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInformation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"height: 235.126px;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e2016\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eItaly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eTuscany\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSub region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eToscana IGT\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot \u0026amp; 5% Cabernet Franc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eBold and Structured\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSweetness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eDry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e14.5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrinking window:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e2022 - 2040\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.469px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood match:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.547px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eBeef and Venison\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritics Scores\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe choose our wines based on a range of criteria\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e(see\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theperfectbottle.com\/pages\/how-we-choose-our-wines\"\u003ehow we choose our wines\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eof which critic scores is just\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eone\u003c\/u\u003e. Rather than simply highlight the best score to promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eaverage critic score or better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add individual critic scores to our website in the future. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot \u0026 5% Cabernet Franc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55506720915832,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/5452\/6614\/files\/red-wine-tua-rita-giusto-di-notri-toscana-igt-2016-1219613252.jpg?v=1770405250","url":"https:\/\/www.theperfectbottle.com\/products\/tua-rita-giusto-di-notri-toscana-igt-2016","provider":"The Perfect Bottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
