Fattoria Petrolo Galatrona,Val d'Arno di Sopra igt 2020 0,75l

Galatrona from Fattoria Petrolo is regarded as a Merlot “grand cru” of Val d’Arno di Sopra, sourced from a single vineyard at around three hundred metres on clay-rich, stony soils. The nose delivers concentrated aromas of blackberry, black cherry and wild berries, layered with cocoa, tobacco, spice and a delicate floral touch. On the palate the wine is powerful yet silky, with great density, polished, fine-grained tannins and vibrant, perfectly balanced acidity. Extended maturation in French barriques brings further complexity without masking the strong sense of place. The finish is deep, multi-layered and marked by dark fruit and minerality. An iconic Tuscan red, ideal with fine cuts of meat, game, truffle dishes and celebratory cuisine.

Around 18 months in selected French tonneaux and barriques gives the Merlot structure, depth and fine complexity.
