PETRA IGT 2018
Symbol of the project itself, so much so that it bears its name, Petra tells ancient stories with new words. The grapes, mainly cabernet sauvignon and merlot, are harvested on calcareous soils with the right balance between clay and skeleton. Suitable lands suitable for the cultivated varieties but above all capable of bringing out their own distinctive traits. Brilliant ruby red color. The nose is intact and intense with hints that recall red fruits, wild blackberries, cherries and currants. These aromas are pleasantly flanked by balsamic notes that recall the Mediterranean scrub, bay leaf and spicy notes of pepper and incense with vanilla nuances, which create a bouquet of great complexity and finesse. On the palate it is powerful and voluminous, pleasantly fresh with a rich and silky tannic texture
