Tasting notes
The Tua Rita 2021 Keir Rosso is Syrah fermented on the skins in Tuscan clay jars. This wine always reveals a pleasingly elegant character, with much of its aromatic power coming directly from the skins, with dried cherry and redcurrant. With time, you get menthol notes, cola and subtle spice. That bright spot of freshness is easy to identify in this vintage. With time, the wine turns to crushed rose and lilac. Fruit for this wine is picked from a parcel planted in 2004 very close to the Syrah that gives birth to Per Sempre.

Love the nose with the dried flowers, red beans and red fruits that follow through to a medium body with firm tannins and a crunchy and delicious finish. Just a hint of cappuccino. Made in amphora with whole clusters of grapes and a tiny bit of wood aging for four months. Pure syrah. Drink now or hold.
The 2021 Syrah Keir is beguiling. Sweet floral and spice nuances lead into a core of dark-fleshed fruit. Earthy and savory notes appear later, adding further shades of complexity. Medium in body and aromatic, the 2021 has a lot to offer. Bright acids on the finish could use time to soften, but the 2021 is quite alluring now, even in the early going.
