The Tua Rita 2020 Lodano Rosso is mostly Petit Verdot with about 35% Merlot to complete and flesh out the blend. The Merlot comes from old vines planted in rich soil that offers less acidity, especially in the very warm years like 2020. That's why the Petit Verdot works so well to round off this wine. It adds sharper contours, freshness and lots of dark fruit. Grilled poblano pepper, aromas of charred meat, bramble and sweet vanilla spice give volume and intensity. This is a big-bodied red with lasting power and structure.
