Description
What type of wine it is
Hebo Petra is a still red wine with a Typical Geographical Indication (IGT) that expresses the authentic character of the Tuscan Coast. This fascinating blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc grapes is fermented in steel and matured in oak barrels and concrete. On the nose, it offers fresh aromas of black cherry and blueberry embellished with notes of peony, while the palate is distinguished by a savoury texture and a medium body. Hints of Mediterranean scrub accompany a juicy drinkability, enriched by soft tannins and a lively acidity.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in the Suvereto area, a particularly well-suited part of Tuscany. The name Hebo pays homage to an ancient Etruscan settlement, celebrating the deep historical roots of this land. The vines are rooted in clay-sandy soils, with a slight limestone presence that infuses the palate with a fine minerality. The vineyards of the Petra estate benefit from the coastal climate, ideal for the ripening of these grapes, which were historically introduced by Elisa Bonaparte. Rigorous agronomical care ensures balanced yields, focusing entirely on fruit quality and a clear territorial expression.
How it is produced
Vinification begins with fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, essential for preserving maximum aromatic purity. Maturation continues in used oak barrels, allowing the tannins to soften while respecting the clarity of the fruit. The process concludes with a period of rest in concrete and subsequent bottle ageing, which gives the wine great harmony.
