Tua Rita Keir – Toscana IGT – Red – 2018:

 

Tua Rita Keir Red: The Amphora-Aged Super Tuscan Syrah

The Tua Rita Keir Red is a visionary 100% Syrah from the prestigious Suvereto area of Tuscany’s Maremma coast. An icon of the ‘Super Tuscan’ movement, Keir (meaning ‘working hands’ in ancient Greek) is distinguished by its innovative aging process in terracotta amphorae, which preserves the grape’s varietal purity and imparts a unique, ferrous minerality.

Tasting Profile & Experience

• Color: Deep, intense garnet.
• Nose: Seductive and complex, featuring concentrated aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and plum, layered with violet, black pepper, cloves, and a hint of dark chocolate/espresso.
• Palate: Full-bodied and rich, delivering a luscious mouthfeel with silky, structured tannins. The amphora aging lends a distinctive earthy, terra cotta note that beautifully balances the powerful dark fruit. The finish is long, complex, and memorable.

Pairing Recommendations & Service

This cult-status wine demands a bold pairing. Decant for two hours and serve at 60-65°F (16-18°C) to fully appreciate its depth.

• Suggested Pairings: Grilled Ribeye Steak with Garlic Butter, Rich Wild Boar Ragu Pasta, Hard Aged Cheeses (like an aged Pecorino or Parmesan).
