Tua Rita
When, in 1984, Rita and Virgilio decided to buy what would become Tua Rita, those lands and buildings were only to be the setting for a place to live in contact with nature, cultivating their own land. But the irrepressible drive of the passion for wine definitely changed things.
From the original 2 hectares of vineyards, cultivated immediately with the utmost rigor and which placed Tua Rita among the first successful Italian experiences built on the model of the "vin de garage", in the space of about ten years we reached 9, then 20, at the beginning of the new millennium, to arrive at the current 30 hectares of vineyards.
A growth that crossed the original and intact passion of Rita and Virgilio with the ever-increasing awareness of the potential of that land, located between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Metalliferous hills, which is called Val di Cornia.
And if the agronomic and cellar management could not progress without the commitment of Rita and Virgilio, that of image and marketing could not develop without the work of Stefano Frascolla, husband of Simena, daughter of the owners, she too, after death of Virgilio, in 2010, engaged in business management.
The name of the company is due to a simple inversion between the name and surname of Rita Tua. Too long and difficult to list the prizes achieved by their wines, just as the request from enthusiasts is equally numerous.
