Crafted to mark the 25th anniversary of Giusto di Notri, this double magnum format elevates an already iconic Super Tuscan into a true collector’s piece—perfect for the cellar or for memorable gatherings. Focused, sculpted and deeply expressive, it showcases Tua Rita’s signature combination of power, finesse and Mediterranean charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the 2017 Giusto di Notri displays a dense, opaque ruby core with purple reflections hinting at its youth and concentration. The nose is beautifully refined and layered, opening with dark blackberry and blackcurrant, followed by plum, black cherry and hints of violets. With air, more complex notes emerge—graphite, crushed stone, cedar, tobacco leaf, mocha and a touch of sweet spice and toasted oak from the heightened barrel toast.\n\nOn the palate, this is full-bodied yet remarkably poised, with a firm, linear structure that carries the wine in a long, precise line across the tongue. Ripe dark fruits—cassis, black plum and blueberry—are wrapped in velvety tannins, balanced by fresh acidity and a subtle savory edge. The small proportion of Merlot lends a gentle sweetness and plush mid-palate texture, while Cabernet Franc contributes lift, aromatic intensity and spice; Cabernet Sauvignon remains the backbone, giving depth, structure and drive. A persistent mineral streak, reminiscent of chalk or limestone, frames the finish and gives a sense of refinement and tension. Already impressive, this 2017 has the structure and concentration to age gracefully for 12–20 years or more, especially in this larger 3L format, which will evolve even more slowly and harmoniously.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiusto di Notri is sourced from estate vineyards around Suvereto, in coastal Tuscany’s Maremma, where a warm Mediterranean climate meets cooling sea breezes and mineral-rich soils of clay, gravel and stones. This terroir naturally yields concentrated, deeply colored grapes with fine tannins and intense aromatics. The blend is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller portions of Merlot and Cabernet Franc carefully selected from low-yielding vines. Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, then sorted meticulously before fermentation. Vinification focuses on gentle extraction to preserve purity and finesse, followed by aging in French barriques. For the 2017 anniversary edition, the wine spent slightly less time in barrique—around 16 months—but in barrels with a higher level of toast, adding extra complexity, spice and texture without overwhelming the vibrant fruit and underlying mineral character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis powerful yet finely tuned Super Tuscan is a natural partner for rich, savory dishes: think dry-aged ribeye or bistecca alla fiorentina, slow-braised lamb shank, Tuscan-style wild boar ragù, or roast game birds. It also pairs beautifully with truffle dishes, pecorino or aged hard cheeses, and refined meat-based pasta or risotto. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) to highlight its freshness and aromatic complexity. Given the concentration and youth of the 2017 vintage—especially in Jeroboam format—decanting for 1.5–3 hours is strongly recommended before serving to allow the bouquet to open fully and the tannins to soften.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTua Rita was founded in 1984 when Rita Tua and her husband Virgilio purchased a small property with just two hectares of vines in Suvereto, on Tuscany’s coast. What began as a modest project quickly gained international recognition thanks to their obsessive attention to detail and uncompromising quality in both vineyard and cellar, ultimately transforming Tua Rita into one of the most admired names in the region. Over time, the estate has expanded to around 30 hectares, and since Virgilio’s passing in 2010, their daughter Simena and her husband Stefano Frascolla have carried the torch, maintaining the estate’s artisanal approach and high standards. Tua Rita helped define the modern Super Tuscan movement, with benchmark wines that routinely receive top scores and global acclaim, cementing its status as a cult producer and a reference point for powerful yet elegant coastal Tuscan reds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tua Rita","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251837718865,"sku":"GCW-MMUI-176032","price":405.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/2017_Tua_Rita_Giusto_Di_Notri_Jeroboam_3_liter.png?v=1783441754","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/2017-tua-rita-giusto-di-notri-jeroboam-3-liter","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
