Description
Italy: Tuscany
Mellow & Rounded Red
Medium-Bodied - Lightly Oaked
Vegan - ABV 14.0% - 75.0cl
In a Nutshell:
A striking Maremma red in the Super-Tuscan style, polished, fresh, and structured with real clarity.
The Lowdown:
The Maremma, that breezy stretch of Tuscan coast, is where Bordeaux grapes seem to find their stride. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot take the lead here, with a splash of Sangiovese to remind you you're still in Italy. It spends a year in used oak barrels, enough to round things out without drowning the fruit. What you get is dark cherry and plum, a hint of herbs, supple tannins and a savoury, moreish finish. Stylish without showing off, it's a pretty neat snapshot of contemporary Tuscan winemaking without getting too pricey.
The Producer:
Petra started in 1997 by Vittorio Moretti is one of those Tuscan estates that show how well Bordeaux's Cabernets and Merlot can play rather nicely with Sangiovese. The Maremma's iron-rich soils, blazing summers and sea breezes certainly give them a head start, which explains why these blends have become such a phenomenon. Petra's wines sit squarely in the Super-Tuscan camp - ripe and polished, yet fresh and refreshing. As for the Mario Botta designed winery, a great cylindrical bunker sunk into the hillside, it's as subtle as a Roman triumphal arch, but happily the wines easily live up to the brashness.
When to Drink:
Serve with roast lamb or mushroom-rich dishes: the fresh fruit and gentle tannins balance the savoury depth nicely.
