100pts Suckling

100 Points, James Suckling: “The floral aromas are spellbinding, with aromas of violets, lilacs, orange peel, raspberries, rose petals, and some oranges. It’s medium- to full-bodied with crunchy and open-grain tannins that are creamy and caressing. It’s endless in the finish. Crunchy and energetic. A wine that is thoughtful and gives you such great pleasure. Such purity. It’s like eating perfectly ripened grape must. Pure Merlot. Drinkable in many ways, but will come together beautifully. A new reference point for Merlot in Italy...”

One of the greatest expressions of its kind. Some of the greatest wines in the world and the most expensive and most collected, wines like Chateau Petrus or Ornellaia’s Masseto or Chateau Cheval Blanc are made from Merlot. They sell for $500 to $2000 and are true icons. Petrolo Galatrona rivals the quality of these wines, gets the scores of these wines and with attention it is garnering will be increasing in price. It has been called the Le Pin of Tuscany, rivals Cheval Blanc and Pavie and has won Tre Bicchieri no fewer than thirteen times. It is the pinnacle of its expression in wine. If you love big rich reds, Cult Napa; Bordeaux, you will absolutely love this wine. A definite collector piece and a prized possession in any cellar. Tuscany does not get better. One with Greatness!
