Fattoria Petrolo

Galatrona Merlot 2021

This is ONE amazing wine! It took us over the hills, through the woods, across the river and under the bridge and we still didn’t know where it would end because the wine was gone. Incredible depth of dark earthy fruit laced with minerals and bursts of vibrant herbal notes. The stunner… 100% Merlot. From Tuscany. Never blame the grape!

Ribera Del Duero Tempranillo 2020

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Full-bodied with medium acidity.

Very dry on the palate with nice complexity and a nice mouthfeel.

Showing black fruits, cedar, licorice, chocolates, dark coffee, pencil lead, earth and peppercorn.

This is a delicious Tempranillo from Ribera Del Duero in Spain. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and nicely balanced.

Starting to drink beautifully now, and needs a couple of hours to open up properly, so be patient.

Wine Enthusiasts 96 points. Wine Advocate 95 points.

This 5 year old Tempranillo is already complex, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

100% Tempranillo grapes, from 40 year old vines, were aged for 14 months in oak barrels and concrete vats.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$120.
