Petra Merlot Quercegobbe 2021
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.

Colour

Intense ruby red with lovely colourful tinges.

Bouquet

Fragrances rich in red fruit with subtle spicy notes and balsamic aromas of myrtle and eucalyptus.

Flavour

Highly elegant in flavour thanks to its fresh tanginess and well-established mineral content, it has great depth on the palate with fine, silky tannins. Body and acidity are obvious, and most importantly, balanced. Long, vigorous and harmonious length in the finish.

Petra
From this winery:

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 ...
