WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Rosso dei Notri begins with hand-harvested grapes from Tua Rita's younger vineyards. The 2024 vintage is vinified primarily in cement and stainless steel tanks, a technique chosen to preserve the wine's freshness and vibrant fruit character. This method avoids oak influence, allowing the terroir and grape varietals to shine. Following fermentation, the wine typically undergoes a short aging period, such as 6 months in cement tanks, before bottling. This approach ensures the wine is approachable and expressive upon release, reflecting the estate's commitment to showcasing the purity of the Maremma's fruit.
