Product Notes

Petra Quercegobbe Merlot is a regal wine from Tuscany, displaying an alluring deep ruby hue. A superbly complex bouquet of ripe blackberries, earthy spices and toasted cocoa prefaces a palate laden with voluptuous cherries and plum flavours, alongside a hint of tobacco. Its silky tannins unravel gloriously, culminating in a lingering, elegant finish. Made from Merlot grapes hand-harvested from a single vineyard, this full-bodied masterpiece impresses with its balanced structure and impressive depth. Aged in French oak, it boasts an understated potency that flourishes when paired with rich meat dishes. A captivating indulgence, Petra Quercegobbe Merlot is a testament to Italian winemaking artistry.

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.
