About the wine
The traditional Petrolo winery is located in the middle of Tuscany between Florence and Arezzo and is one of the very few that has consistently received top marks from all renowned Italian wine critics for years. The vines stand at an altitude of between 250 and 450 meters above sea level. The Galestro soils are typical of the Apennine region of Tuscany. Since the Middle Ages, the estate was owned by the famous Tuscan dynasty Galatrona, of whose buildings the ancient tower is still preserved today. Today, Petrolo is run by the fourth generation of the Bazzocchi-Sanjust family.
Tasting note
This large Merlot has been pressed on Petrolo since 1994. Energetic bouquet, blackberries, plums, violets, some mint, olives, tobacco, noble mineral notes. Perfectly balanced on the palate, powerful, silky tannins, very precise and with a fantastically juicy melt. An exclusive culinary experience. Decant beforehand.
