History
Tua Rita made Suvereto famous. Rita Tua and Virgilio Bisti bought two hectares at Notri in 1984, and their Merlot Redigaffi became one of Italy's iconic wines, its 2000 vintage the first Italian wine to earn a perfect 100 points from Robert Parker. Alongside the Bordeaux-blend Giusto di Notri, both bottled as Toscana IGT, the estate also makes Suvereto and Val di Cornia wines on the mineral-rich coastal soils.
