Valdarno di Sopra DOC 'Galatrona' 2018 (750 ml.) Petrolo
Galatrona by Petrolo is one of the most iconic red wines of Tuscany, a pure Merlot that masterfully combines power and elegance. Considered the flagship wine of the estate, it is a multi-award-winning Supertuscan that has ranked for over a decade among the most acclaimed Italian labels worldwide. The grapes come from organically farmed vineyards on the hills of the Upper Val d’Arno, where clay and galestro soils lend character and depth. After aging for 15 months in barriques, the wine reveals silky tannins and a bouquet rich in black fruits, sweet spices, and balsamic nuances. On the palate, it is smooth, full-bodied, and harmonious, with a long, refined finish. A noble and enveloping wine, it is a benchmark of the finest Italian Merlot expression.

THE FARM
Petrolo winery is located in the province of Arezzo, in the municipality of Mercatale Valdarno, among the green Tuscan hills. The estate was part, in the Middle Ages, of the Galatrona fiefdom, as evidenced by the ancient tower, from which the Petrolo wines take their name, and the parish church that contains a baptismal font by Giovanni della Robbia. Belonging to the Bazzocchi-Sanjust family for four generations, the Petrolo estate covers over 270 hectares, of which about thirty are currently planted with vines, while twenty are dedicated to the cultivation of olive trees. Since the second half of the 1980s, the objective of the Petrolo winery has been that of the absolute quality of the wines produced, starting from the understanding and interpretation of the enormous potential of the territory. Today the rows are conducted according to the rules of organic farming. A complete and harmonious range of labels, expressive and particularly faithful to the terroir of origin, as well as constantly striving towards the highest quality levels. Simply extraordinary wines.
