Petraia
A ripe and heady nose of blackberry pie, dried plums and vanilla. Full body, dense and chewy tannins and a fine line of acidity that freshens this up and keeps it juicy on the finish.
A classic Supertuscan. Complex bouquet, elegant and harmonious, with notes of red fruit accompanied by sweet and spicy scents. Full bodied on the palate, rounded with lightly tannic aftertaste.
Suitable for vegans.

Tasting Notes
Deep and intense red colour with an ethereal perfume. On the nose, complex and characteristic hints generated by the Merlot grapes, accompanied by spicy and sweet notes. On the palate it is full-bodied and velvety with a pleasant finish.
Food Pairing
Savory appetizers, grilled meats, stewed game and seasoned cheeses.
Winemaking Notes
After crushing, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks by selected yeasts. Fermentation’s temperature is contained at 26-28°C and the must is pumped over its skins twice a day to draw color and tannin. After 20-22 days the wine is separated from the skins. After fermentation the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 16 months and then in big oak casks for a further 12 months. Storage in stainless steel tanks until bottling. Refined in bottle for at least 12 months before release.
