This is one of the finest Merlots in the world, and the cooler, ocean-driven, Maremma climate makes this one of the most elegant and perfumed expressions of Bordeaux you are likely to find anywhere in Italy. 99 POINTS is quite the marker, but when you know Tua Rita – you know that such scores are almost expected at this point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTua Rita was established in the early 1980s, in Tuscany’s lesser-known Maremma, a coastal region and former marshland that was drained by the medici in the late 16th century. For hundreds of years, the land was primarily allocated for raising cattle, or pigs, with most of the agriculture focused on less romantic crops than grapes for world-class wines. But around the time that Rita Tua and her husband, Virgilio Bisti, settled here, all that began to change. These two pioneers set out to prove that fantastic wines can be made in Maremma, and now, the region’s wines are quickly rising in renown and value – with efforts that compare and often outpace the top wines of Chianti, Montalcino, Bolgheri, and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis merlot bottling has become their flagship wine, made for the first time in 1994, and sourced from the steep slopes of their highest vineyards, where the rocky clay soils are interspersed with natural occurring metals and minerals – such as iron sulfite and sodium deposits that are thought to perfectly stress the vines, and influences the overall flavors from year to year. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJames Suckling said it best… \u003cem\u003e“Wow.

A great young merlot and one of the best for a number of years.” \u003c\/em\u003eSo I’ll go no further.

This is the estate that put Montalcino on the map – the one all other Brunellos are measured against. Founder Clemente Santi developed the Brunello di Montalcino style in the mid-1800s, centering it on Sangiovese Grosso aged to grand effect. His grandson Ferruccio Biondi-Santi went further, developing the family's proprietary clone, BBS11 (Brunello Biondi-Santi 11) – the only varietal clone in the world named for its producer, and the very clone in your glass with this 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate vineyard, Tenuta Greppo, sits at high altitude southeast of Montalcino on terraced, galestro-rich soils of characteristically poor quality – the type that forces vines to dig deep and produce grapes of extraordinary structure, fruit, and acidity. Hand-harvested fruit is fermented in cement vats with native yeasts, then aged 24-30 months in large Slavonian oak casks in the traditional Brunello fashion. The 2018 was the second harvest fully overseen by new owners EPI – the French group that also stewards Charles Heidsieck and Piper-Heidsieck – who took complete control from vineyard to bottle starting with this vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The 2018 Biondi-Santi Brunello shows the winery's hallmark finesse that EPI have scrupulously preserved thanks to the passion and determination of a great on-site team.\"\u003c\/em\u003e –Kerin O'Keefe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArmed with double-96 scores and a stack of additional rave reviews, the 2018 is a masterpiece – and Vinous puts it plainly: “Simply magnificent, the 2018 takes the perfumed character of the vintage and marries perfectly to a core of vividly intense fruit. This is entirely atypical of the vintage and the result of extreme selection that reduced production quantities by 20%.” In the glass, you'll find lifted aromas of lilac, lavender, and dried rose, followed by layered flavors of black and red cherry, orange peel, spiced cranberry tea, eucalyptus, coriander, black pepper, and dried herbs. The acidity is bright and almost saline, the tannins silk-soft, and the whole thing floats with a purity and finesse that makes it as approachable now as it is built for decades in the cellar. Under $190 for a wine of this stature and story is genuinely extraordinary.
