TUSCAN VINES Passionately Pursuing Italian Wine & Food

Today, Tua Rita is an icon in Suvereto, a small hamlet in Livorno along the Tuscan coast.

The vineyard that generates the grapes for Redigaffi is comprised of a myriad of soil types given the close proximity to the Mediterranean.  Sand, silt, and calcerous deposits are prevalent and the vines are planted to a density of almost 9,000 plants per hectare.  Such density causes the vines to struggle and compete for nutrients and the resulting grapes are intensely flavored.   Redigaffi takes its name from a stream that runs by the estate.
