WINE EXPERIENCE

Tua Rita

Tua Rita is a winery located in Suvereto. When Rita and Virgilio bought it in 1984, those lands were only supposed to be the setting for a place to live in contact with nature. From the original 2 hectares of vineyard we reach the current 57. Among the first happy Italian experiences of “vin de garage”, thanks to the marketing of Stefano Frascolla, son-in-law of Rita and Virgilio, today he exports his wines all over the world.

Union of passion and potential of the land, the company production philosophy is quality without compromise.

Vineyard management has the fundamental objective of helping the plants defend themselves, guaranteeing, first of all, the health of the land and the environment with natural methods.

The lands of Tua Rita, arranged on a slight hill, with a constant slope, are located in that band of territory of the Alta Maremma which takes the name of Colline Metallifere. The wines, at different degrees of complexity, express a common element: the personality of this terroir, with aromas of ferrous notes and an intensely savory gustatory progression.
