Product Notes

Petrolo Galatrona is an exquisite wine originating from Italy's Tuscan region. This stellar merlot is renowned for its full-bodied, robust character. Significant notes of black cherry, plum and tannin blend harmoniously, producing a captivating bouquet. Delicate traces of tobacco and spice offer an intoxicating complexity. The wine's perfect balance of acidity contributes to a remarkable, lingering finish. This sophisticated beverage is aged in French oak barrels, adding a mellow yet profound layer of flavour. Adorned with numerous international accolades, Petrolo Galatrona presents a luxurious indulgence for discerning wine connoisseurs who appreciate a well-structured and intense wine.

Tasting Notes

Intense elegant wine with great structure and complexity, lovely balance between acidity, fruit and tannins. A great wine, beyond the grape variety it’s made from, which talk of the piece of land it came from, a classic in its own way.
