It is a 100% Merlot which owes its name to a small stream that flows near the property. When Rita and Virgilio removed two Merlot barriques from production in 1994, perhaps they didn't think they had created what would become an international cult wine. From those vineyards planted in 1988, in the heart of the company on a slight slope, an exceptional fruit was born. Their position, the composition of the soil and the microclimates in their combination had given life to this unique wine of its kind. First Italian wine to obtain Robert Parker's 100/100.

Story "Your Rita"
When, in 1984, Rita and Virgilio decided to buy what would become Tua Rita, those lands and those buildings were only supposed to be the setting of a place where they could live in contact with nature, cultivating their own land. But the irrepressible push of the passion for wine definitely changed things. From the original 2 hectares of vineyard, cultivated immediately with the utmost rigor and which placed Tua Rita among the first happy Italian experiences built on the "vin de garage" model, in the space of about ten years it reached 9, then 20, at the beginning of the new millennium, to reach the current 30 hectares of vineyards. A growth that crossed the original and intact passion of Rita and Virgilio with the ever-increasing awareness of the potential of that land, located between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Metalliferous hills, which is called Val di Cornia. And if the agronomic and cellar management could not progress without the commitment of Rita and Virgilio, that of the image and marketing could not develop without the work of Stefano Frascolla, husband of Simena, daughter of the owners, who, after the Virgilio's death in 2010, engaged in company management. The name of the company is due to a simple inversion between Rita Tua's name and surname.
