Crafted at Petrolo’s historic estate in the Val d’Arno di Sopra DOC, this wine is a blend dominated by Sangiovese, with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it combines the heart of Tuscany with a touch of Bordeaux character. The 2017 vintage, offers rich density, ripe dark fruit, and floral aromatics balanced by a vibrant, fresh acidity. Its beautiful structured, elegant, with a complex bouquet—featuring cherries, dried berries, violets, grilled herbs, and hints of spice, leather, and menthol.

This wine is organically grown, hand-harvested, and naturally fermented using traditional methods—aged for 15 months in a thoughtful mix of French oak barriques, large oak casks, and concrete vats. It’s a wine that speaks clearly of terroir: the schist- and sandstone-rich soils, the dry-farmed vines, and the skilled hands that guide it from vineyard to bottle. On the palate, it’s full-bodied yet incredibly refined, with polished tannins and a savory, lingering finish. It pairs effortlessly with roasted meats, wild game, rich pasta dishes, and aged cheeses—making it ideal for both casual elegance and formal dinners.
