Tua Rita Redigaffi Toscana IGT 2005

100% Merlot from Maremma, coastal Tuscany. Dark crimson in colour. Smells like right bank Bordeaux. I usually avoid the description “smooth “ but that is what this is. Red and black fruited - medium bodied and very long in the flavour profile. Next night still very Bordeaux. See my previous note from February 2024. — 16 days ago

Quinta de Foz de Arouce

Vinhas Velhas de Santa Maria Vinho Regional Beiras Baga Red Blend 2005

80% Baga with 20% Touriga National blended in. Only made in select vintages. Dark ruby color throughout. Bright and concentrated red fruit notes on both the nose and palate. Hints of red flowers, baking spices, minerals, garrigue and tobacco. Extremely long finish. Beautiful balance even at 18 years of age. Acidity and tannins have harmonized beautifully. Fresh tasting and still quite powerful. I do not understand why the Baga grape has such a poor reputation. Every Quinta de Foz de Arouce wine made from this grape that I have had the pleasure of tasting has been exceptional. — 3 years ago

This is the vermentino not the bianco. Licorice root, peaches, beeswax, lavender. Huge jasmine and oleander. Peppery palate. Very nice indeed! — 5 years ago

Redigaffi’s pricetag is 3 times Giusto di Notri’s. Seems like a fair deal when its 10 times better..? 😈

I've got the Redigaffi and Per Sempre too from multiple vintages but these have to age a little bit more. We'll see someday...

Duemani

Toscana IGT Cabernet Franc 2005

This is as great Tuscany can get - 100% Cabernet Franc, with beautiful fruit, very dark appearance, dark cherry, herb and chocolate flavours. Duemani refers to the two hands of Luca d’Attoma, oenologist also known from Tua Rita and Le Macchiole, two other great Tuscany estates. Prices have almost doubled since 2005, but this wine is worth it! — 4 years ago

Quinta de Foz de Arouce

Vinho Regional Beiras Red Blend 2012

Interesting red blend that features the Baga (85%) grape. Blended with Touriga National (15%). Very dark color but lighter in body than I would have expected. Bright and jammy red fruit aromas and flavors with hints of prunes and dark chocolate. Solid acidity and very long finish. Moderate finish and tannins. In a very good place right now. Thanks for sharing and insisting we open this one, Ron B! — 5 years ago

Tua Rita

Rosso Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2006

Dense and oily dark fruit. Chewy red flavors- graphite, dried herbs, leather notes, noticeable oak but well integrated. Quite ripe at points but not burnt out. A real earthy complexity and power. Not elegant, but fun. — 7 years ago
