Galatrona 2018 - Tenuta di Petrolo

Tasting notes

"Tasted from barrel, the gorgeous 2018 Galatrona promises much beauty to come. Luca Sanjust says that this is the most Pomerol of the Merlot-based Galatronas he has created, and indeed, the wine boasts impeccable balance and depth. You get some of the balsam herb notes that I found in the 2017 vintage, although those are greatly downplayed here, giving more room to cherry and blackberry fruit instead. The 2018 vintage offers energy, freshness and tonic fruit. Underground water reserves were plentiful in 2018, and the fruit ripened slowly and harmoniously, creating textural richness and succulence."

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

In the foothills of the Chianti mountains, overlooking Tuscany’s Arno River valley, Tenuta di Petrolo includes a noted winery, a medieval tower, a 13th-century church and an 18th-century villa.

Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate, August 2009) stated, "Proprietor Luca Sanjust and his team craft some of the most beautiful wines in Tuscany at the equally picturesque Petrolo estate." The estate is focused on producing wines of the highest quality and that focus is reflected in its personnel as well as vitivinicultural practices.

Galatrona, the estate's 100% Merlot offering, was first brought to market in 1994 as a Tuscan IGT wine and has retained that classification ever since. 

Annual Merlot production is 13,500 bottles.
