Petra Toscana Rosso 750ml 2017

Petra
Cabernet Sauvignon 70%, Merlot 30%
The very symbol of the project, so much so that it bears its name, Petra tells ancient stories in new words.

The grapes, mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, are harvested on calcareous soils with the right balance of clay and skeleton. Soils suited to the varieties grown but
above all capable of bringing out their distinctive features.

Brilliant ruby red colour. The nose is full and intense with hints of red fruits, wild blackberries, cherries and currants.
These aromas are pleasantly complemented by balsamic notes reminiscent of the Mediterranean scrub, bay leaves and spicy notes of pepper and incense with ripe vanilla
undertones, creating a bouquet of great complexity and finesse. The palate is powerful and voluminous, pleasantly fresh with a rich and silky texture.

Production method
Sun, wind and three complementary soils
The production method is rigorously aimed at defending the territorial connotation.

The grapes are transported in boxes, fermentation takes place naturally with indigenous yeasts and vinification takes place in 100 hectolitre truncated conical oak vats.
Finally, the wine is aged for 18 months in barriques of first, second and third passage, characterised by a medium and light toasting that accompanies and enhances the
fruit without ever overpowering it. The period in the bottle is just as long before the wine leaves the cellar.
