Tua Rita "Keir" Rosso Syrah 2023
(Tuscany, Italy)- [JS 96] [VM 93]

About the Winery:
Tua Rita is a winery situated in Suvereto, Tuscany. When Rita and Virgilio bought it in 1984, the land was supposed to offer just the picturesque surroundings in which they would live in touch with nature. Those original 2 hectares of vines have now become 51 hectares.Today, what started as amusing ‘vins de garage’, are wines that are exported everywhere in the world thanks to the marketing of Rita and Virgilio’s son-in-law, Stefano Frascolla. The wines of Tua Rita all have one element in common: the personality of the earth with its ferrous notes and a penetrating and rapid, progressive development of their flavor.

About the Wine:
Keir means "working hands" in old Greek, referring to the hands that create the amphora.
Keir spends six months in amorpha in contact with its skins, then rests for 3 months in french barriques. The amorpha enhances the varietal characteristics of the syrah.

Tasting Notes:
This elegant wine can express a clear contrast between finesse and fullness. It has been vinified in amphora, an ancient process that brings out the characteristics of this varietal. It is fulled manually in open pots and the skins undergo a long maceration. This method, which for us is unconventional, gives our Syrah an original expression.

Ratings & Reviews

96 Points - James Suckling:
"What a wonderful wine. Aromas of black and green olives, chocolate and hazelnuts. Medium-bodied with creamy tannins and a caressing finish. It’s so seductive and beautiful. A joy to drink. Made in terra cotta amphorae with skins and some whole clusters for four months and then aged four or five months in seasoned barrels. Terrific wine that emphasizes character and drinkablity. Sustainable. Drink now or hold."  (Jul 2025)

93 Points - Vinous Media:
"The 2023 Syrah Keir is laced with wild cherry, herbs, dried herbs, mint and pipe tobacco. The 40-50% stems are evident in the wine's profile. Pliant and deep, the 2023 has quite a bit to offer, but it is also still coming together. (Drink between 2025-2031). - Antonio Galloni (Jun 2025)
