Description

Bearing the name of the vineyard that produces it, Quercegobbe is located at the edges of the Maquis shrubland facing the sea. The ideal position for Merlot, which favours hilly land and windy climates. Its rows, planted in 1997, are in the vineyards closest to the production cellar. The ideal distance, and not only physically, because Merlot is Francesca Moretti’s favourite wine, the field of activity in which she chose to put her intuition, knowledge and plans – and those of her cellar team – to the test.

Petra, like "pietra" (stone) in Latin. Like the solidity of work, which both Francesca and Vittorio Moretti (father and daughter) have based their project upon. Like the historic fragments found out in these lands, giving evidence of a far away past , leading from the Old Greek civilization to Etruria (ancient name for Tuscany) and from there to France. An ambitious project that claims to interpret the territory, to grasp the characteristics that make it unique, making it an exceptional wine-growing area. To live up to this, Vittorio Moretti entrusted the agronomic investigation to Prof. Attilio Scienza, the greatest expert in zoning, while the structure was designed by Mario Botta, who gave the winery the status of a true architecture of work and hospitality.
