About this wine

Galatrona 2022 is 100% Merlot from the Galatrona cru in Val d’Arno di Sopra. It explodes with ripe black plum, blueberry and black cherry, framed by violet, chocolate, sweet spice and graphite. The palate is dense yet refined, with velvety tannins and vibrant acidity that keep the wine lifted and focused. This is a collectible, cellar-worthy Merlot that still offers huge immediate pleasure.

Tasting Note

Wine Advocate notes its powerful yet elegant profile, with deep dark fruit, floral tones and savoury complexity; James Suckling emphasizes the purity, plush texture and long, polished finish.

In the glass

Inky ruby-purple, almost opaque.

In the nose

Black plum, blueberry, violets, dark chocolate, espresso and graphite.

On the palate

Full-bodied, plush and layered with rich dark fruit, fine tannins and a very long, savoury, mineral finish.

Petrolo

A serious, estate-driven producer in the hills of the Val d’Arno. Petrolo focuses on low yields, attentive farming, and pure, expressive Sangiovese and Merlot. The wines show depth, dark fruit, and a mineral backbone. Clean, confident, and age-worthy: an estate that consistently overdelivers.
