When in 1984 Rita and Virgilio purchased the property that was to become Tua Rita, the land and the buildings on it were only to be the setting for a life together lived in contact with nature, farming nature’s bounty. It was their overwhelming passion for making wine that changed those plans.
Inevitably, Tua Rita’s uncompromising commitment to quality begins with the management of the estate’s vineyards. Our vine stock is trained to either single or double cordon spur and planting densities vary from 5,000 to 9,000 vines per hectare.
Vine protection methods are those adopted for organic grape farming but the underlying objective is to assist the plants to defend themselves by ensuring the health of soil and environment and abandoning plant protection products.
