2023 Tua Rita Giusto di Notri Toscana IGT Tuscany, Italy

Deep ruby in the glass, with youthful violet edges. The aromas burst with wild blackberry, ripe cherry, and plum compote, accented by crushed herbs, anise, and a faint touch of cocoa. On the palate, it’s vibrant and juicy, with supple tannins framing flavors of dark berries, red currant, and baking spice. A subtle mineral edge and bright acidity give the wine lift and clarity, finishing with warmth and balance. This is a polished yet energetic Tuscan red that’s ready to enjoy now but structured enough to hold for a few years. Drink now–2032.
