Merchant's description

Fattoria Petrolo Galatrona 1995 is a mature, Merlot-based red wine from the Val d`Arno di Sopra region of Tuscany. This bottling was one of the early vintages of this icon, produced from a single vineyard planted on clay-rich soils. It offers a complex bouquet of dried plums, tobacco, leather and dark chocolate, with a silken mouthfeel and fully integrated tannins. It remains a benchmark for Italian Merlot, showcasing the remarkable ageing potential and elegance of the estate.
