2019 Petrolo Galatrona Magnum

On a truly breathtaking location is the domain that belongs to the 4 best producers of Italy when it comes to Merlot. The title "Peter of Italy" goes annually to Masseto, La Ricolma, Redigaffi or Galatrona. The Petrolo is a fantastic Merlot and one of the greater wines from Tuscany. The Merlot of Petrolo is planted in a ten-hectare plot characterized by thick clay soils. A maximum of 500 grams is harvested from a vine and is picked manually and only the finest fruit from the Mercatale Valdarno vineyard is allowed in the Galatrona. Fermentation lasted 14 days followed by a smooth malolactic fermentation. Afterwards the wine matures for about 18 months in new French barriques. The Galatrona is the flagship wine of Luca Sanjust's Petrolo estate, not far from Arezzo in the Valdarno region of eastern Tuscany. The Galatrona is indeed a masterpiece to behold with a deep colour. The sultry bouquet consists of ripe fruit (black cherry), earthy notes and eucalyptus. The attack is full, the structure rich with a fruity character and impressions of toasted wood. Beautiful acidity that leaves a fresh mouth. This wine offers a thick layer and a deep intensity with aromas that offer an incredible range, starting with lush dark chocolate on one side and ending with fragrant white truffle at the end of its long aromatic trajectory. You get plummy fruit, spices, sweet tobacco and earthy notes. This full-bodied Merlot is soft in texture and juicy with a long-lasting flavour intensity. This is a 1.5 liter magnum version.
