Petra 2022 Toscana Rosso IGT

A red wine from Petra, made from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The two varieties are matched to different soils at the estate, with Merlot on cooler hillside soils and Cabernet Sauvignon on stony, less fertile soils with good water retention. The grapes are harvested fully ripe and vinified in oak vats, then matured in barrique for at least 18 months. It is suited to rich Tuscan dishes, especially braised game. The wine is deep garnet in colour, with aromas of black fruit preserve, marasca cherry, rosemary, myrtle, spice and coffee. On the palate it is full and powerful, with very fine tannins, fresh acidity and a savoury finish of great persistence.
