Product Notes

Petra Quercegobbe Merlot is a sophisticated Italian red single-vineyard wine, cultivated in the bountiful soils of Tuscany. The Merlot grapes give it a rich, luscious ruby-red hue, while the predominant oak maturation proffers an intense bouquet of black fruits and spice on the palate that make it a pure delight. It displays elegant tannins and a harmonious structure, underscoring its robust and full-bodied profile. The wine's lingering finish, savoring notes of blackberries, plums, and a hint of vanilla, is a true homage to Tuscany's winemaking tradition. Petra Quercegobbe Merlot is an exquisite choice for any fervent wine enthusiast.

Tasting Notes

The color is a very deep ruby-red. An ample and intriguing nose opens with the fruited notes of blueberry, raspberry, black cherry and plum, followed by the mediterranean contingent: myrtle, rosemary and licorice. The body is dense, full, smooth, with polished tannins. Vigorous yet balanced, this is a striking red that will not fall short of expectations.

About the Winery

Petra Winery is a destination like no other, nestled amidst the rolling hills and picturesque landscapes of Italy. Born from a passion for winemaking, this establishment seeks to encapsulate the elegance and essence of the Tuscan terroir, creating wines that capture the heart and tantalise the palate.

Founded by Vittorio Moretti, Petra Winery sits atop the heights of Suvereto, an area with a rich tapestry of history and tradition. This location was consciously selected for its exceptional microclimate, where the optimum balance of sun, wind and fertile soil cultivates the ideal environment for the vineyards. Each grape variety grown here adds a unique character to their wines, from the deep intensity of Cabernet Sauvignon, to the aromatic allure of Merlot.

The winery itself is a work of architectural beauty. It tastefully combines the purity of modern design with an enduring respect for the natural landscape. The buildings appear to emerge organically from the hills themselves; their minimalistic lines highlighting rather than distracting from the surrounding beauty. This harmonious blending of man-made structure and nature is echoed in Petra’s philosophy of winemaking: to apply modern techniques to traditional methods, coaxing the very best from the land and allowing nature’s bounty to shine in every bottle.

Their wines bear a stamp of sophistication that has won accolades internationally. They offer an array of exquisite reds and whites, each one boasting a complexity achieved by the precise combination of grape varieties, seasoned barrels and patient aging. Wine connoisseurs will savour the intensity of their flagship red, a blend that sings with notes of blackcurrant, spice and vanilla. No less impressive are their crisp, aromatic whites that exude the fresh vibrancy of the Mediterranean.

Marvellous to behold, Petra Winery is a testimony of tradition mingling with innovation,. Love of wine and the terroir is poured into every aspect, painting an unforgettable experience for any who venture there. Its signature wines have enhanced Italy’s viticultural reputation on the world stage, making it the embodiment of Italian winemaking at its best.
