描述
A still organic red wine from Tuscany, 14% ABV, produced by Petrolo. Made from 100% Merlot, this wine embodies the elegance of the Valdarno di Sopra region. Petrolo's history dates back to 1947, with a production of 85,000 bottles. The nose is expansive and explosive, particularly fresh, lively, and fruity, with hints of black cherries, chocolate, floral notes, smoke, and spices. The color is a very vibrant, dark ruby red. The palate is dominated by very soft, refined, and balanced tannins, leaving a lovely sensation of freshness and remarkable persistence. A perfect wine to accompany red meats, game, and aged cheeses, ideal for an important dinner.

| 产地 | The area is that of the Colli Aretini that encircle the Chianti Mountains, historically known and so delimited in 1716 by the Grand Duke of Tuscany as an area of particular viticultural and olive-growing merit. The Petrolo estate was part of the ancient medieval fiefdom of 'Galatrona', of which the tower (Torrione, from which the name of the wine originates) still exists, erected on bases dating back to Roman times.The Petrolo vineyards extend over 31 hectares, of which 26 hectares are currently in production, at an altitude between 250 and 450 metres above sea level. |
| 土壤成分 | Rocky stratifications of marl, sandstone and alberese of Chianti |
| 栽培系统 | Utmost care and attention at Petrolo is put into the daily work in the vineyard. Aware of the fact that great wines can only be obtained if you have special and favourable soil and climatic conditions, and we at Petrolo are fortunate enough to have them, only then with maniacal and manual work in the vineyard, ranging from dry winter pruning, to tying and then to the various stages of cleaning the vines up to the green harvests (at Petrolo in two phases, one after flowering and one after veraison) is it possible to convince the vines to produce not only a very limited quantity but also a balanced quantity. And it is precisely this condition of balance that will bring the vines and grapes to full ripeness at harvest, which will naturally then be seen in the wine in a perfect harmony between fruit and acidity and persistence on the palate. |
| 每公顷产量 | 20 hl |
| 生产工艺 | Vinification is done using vitrified cement tanks, carrying out separate fermentations according to the type and origin of the grapes. Skin maceration is prolonged according to the grape varieties used and the type of vintage, favouring complete extraction. Repassing is carried out with great care and the fermentation temperature is monitored so that it never exceeds 28-30 degrees centigrade. |
| 酿酒工艺 | After malolactic fermentation, the wine remained in new French oak barriques for a period of 18 months. During this phase, the wine was left on the fine lees for the first 6 months, paying particular attention to its evolution. This process made it possible to achieve greater complexity. Following bottling, the wine began its customary ageing period of 6 months. |
| 陈酿 | After malolactic fermentation and simple racking to remove the lees, the wine begins its ageing period. The choice of wood is considered of primary importance and is constantly evolving. The ageing of the wine in barriques is kept under constant observation. The various types of barriques are being studied according to the characteristics of the two types of wine produced. |
