96 -Wine Enthusiast -

The nose offers seemingly infinite layers, first showing tiny wild blueberries and mulberries, then violets and peonies, then a soft, soothing earth element comes in, with a final tangy, peppery aroma. On the palate, sweeter, darker berries spar with continued astringent notes, while silky tannins blanket everything with the distinctive mouthfeel of Tua Rita.

96 -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -

A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc and 8% Merlot, the 2020 Giusto di Notri is a ripe, bold and generous wine. The DNA of the wine has changed slightly over the years to favor the Cabernet Franc (with an increased percentage) over the Merlot, which has fallen from a previous high of about 35% to 40% of the blend a decade ago. What I like about this wine is that it manages an elegant, almost understated interpretation of a hot and dry vintage. The tannins are especially well managed in this situation. In 2020, Tua Rita's harvest was finished by October 6th.

94 -Vinous -

93 -Wine Spectator -

A concentrated, supple red, delivering black currant, blackberry, iron, earth and toasty spice flavors. While backed by a spine of firm, dense tannins, this remains balanced and long in its youthful manner. Give this two to three more years in the cellar. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2042. 3,333 cases made, 400 cases imported.

Rita and Virgilio Terzini founded Tua Rita in 1984 in Suvereto, in the heart of what would later become Bolgheri’s inland neighbor Val di Cornia, and from the beginning placed their bet on Merlot in a region no one was paying attention to. When Robert Parker awarded Tua Rita’s 1997 Redigaffi a perfect 100 points, it was only the second time he had ever given that score to an Italian wine. The Giusto di Notri is the estate’s Bordeaux-style blend, a wine of extraordinary depth and polish built around 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, and 8% Merlot, aged in new oak with meticulous control at the single-parcel level. James Suckling awarded the 2020 97 points, adding it to his list of Italy’s Top 100 Wines, Wine Enthusiast 96, Wine Advocate 97, Vinous 94, and Wine Spectator 93. Despite the huge splash they made two decades ago, Tua Rita stays out of the spotlight, which is exactly why the pricing here is so exceptional. A symphony of dark fruit, dried flowers, cedar, pipe tobacco, and dried herbs on the palate, with fine tannins and remarkable length. Very limited. Grab it while you can.
