Description
What type of wine it is
Petra's Belvento Sangiovese Toscana is a still red wine with a Typical Geographical Indication that clearly expresses the character of its territory of origin. Fermented in steel and aged in wood, it offers a medium-bodied structure, standing out for its juicy and smooth sip. On the nose and palate, it offers intense notes of cherry and dark fruit, enriched by hints of plum, eucalyptus and a touch of black pepper. The flavour profile is balanced by a marked freshness and well-calibrated tannins, with a persistent and elegant liquorice finish, proving to be a smooth choice that is also suitable for a vegan diet.
Where it comes from
The Sangiovese grapes grow on the hills of Suvereto, where the mitigating action of the sea promotes steady ripening. The vineyards, trained using the Guyot system, are rooted in clay-sandy soil with a clear limestone component. This soil composition gives the wine a remarkable aromatic definition, creating a precious synergy between freshness and structure. The coastal climate and low yields per hectare allow the vines to capture maritime influence, resulting in a precise territorial identity that fully reflects the landscape of the Tuscan coast.
How it is produced
The winemaking process for the Belvento Sangiovese Toscana by Petra is designed to best preserve the varietal aromas. The first phase involves fermentation in steel, essential for keeping the primary freshness of the Sangiovese grapes intact. Subsequently, the wine undergoes ageing for at least twelve months, resting in a combination of barriques and oak barrels. This targeted period in wood softens the tannic components, consolidating the overall structure without compromising its drinkability. The process concludes with bottle ageing, a fundamental step to ensure an optimal balance of flavour.
History and interesting facts
Born in Suvereto, the Belvento Sangiovese Toscana 2024 embodies the authentic soul of the I Vini del Mare range by Petra, a winery founded in 1997. Under the guidance of oenologist Giuseppe Caviola, this ambitious project enhances an exceptional territory, magically suspended between the coast and the hills. The precious vines, trained using the Guyot system, faithfully translate the pedoclimatic nuances of an inimitable Tuscan landscape, expressing in the glass the estate’s deep connection with the vibrant maritime identity of the place.
