Fattoria Petrolo Galatrona 600cl 2013 presents a pure expression of Merlot from a dedicated three-hectare vineyard in Tuscany`s Val d`Arno di Sopra. Cultivated in clay and schist soils, this vintage benefitted from a lengthy ripening period, leading to concentrated flavours and a firm acidity typical of the illustrious 2013 year. This imperial format, housing 14% alcohol, was aged for 18 months in new French oak barriques, contributing layers of blackberries, chocolate, and minerality. The wine is positioned to evolve slowly, its dense core and structural integrity promising longevity, and exemplifying the confluence of grape variety and terroir.
