Tua Rita’s Syrah Per Sempre 2022 is a 100% Syrah from Suvereto on the Tuscan coast, bottled under I.G.T. Toscana Syrah. Per Sempre has been part of the estate’s lineup since its first vintage in 2001, and the 2022 continues the house’s concentrated, oak-framed style. The winery describes notably clay-rich soils with a meaningful pebble component, a detail that helps explain the wine’s typical mix of depth and structure.
This is also a clearly defined, small-origin wine. One retail source reports it comes from a “micro-parcel of 18 rows planted in 1998” on clay with galestro (Tuscan schist), and notes spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Alcohol is consistently reported at 14.5% ABV.
On the nose and palate, critics converge on an emphatically dark-fruited, floral-spiced profile. James Suckling’s 99-point review (an excellent score, also confirmed by the winery) highlights how “the purity of the fruit on the nose is really impressive,” pointing to “violets, lavender, sandalwood, light white pepper and white roses,” and calling it “a pure Syrah with a lot of class for this vintage.” Vinous describes the 2022 as “dense and super-concentrated,” with “dark red cherry fruit, blood orange, cinnamon, spice, new leather and rose petals,” and offers practical advice: “give it time.”
The wine is aged in French oak barriques, though the exact time in wood varies by source: the winery states 15–17 months in new French barriques, while some retailers report roughly 20–22 months in French oak. Either way, reviewers’ notes suggest oak is integrated into a broader impression of power, polish, and aromatic lift rather than sweetness.
Beyond Suckling’s standout 99, the Wine Advocate’s 96 points (also confirmed by the winery) reinforces the wine’s high-level critical standing. Other scores circulating via retail reporting include Doctor Wine 98, Falstaff 96, Vinous 95, and Wine Spectator 94. For collectors, it’s positioned as a cellar candidate, with one merchant suggesting a horizon of 10+ years.
