Fattoria Petrolo Galatrona 2013 is a 100% Merlot from the Val d’Arno di Sopra estate in Tuscany. This iconic bottling is often referred to as the Petrus of Italy and is sourced from a single 10-hectare vineyard planted in high-clay soils. The 2013 vintage was characterized by a balanced growing season, allowing the Merlot to reach perfect phenolic ripeness while retaining a fresh 13.5% alcohol. It offers a concentrated bouquet of blackberries, chocolate and toasted oak. On the palate, the tannins are sophisticated and firm, providing a structure that has allowed the wine to age gracefully for over a decade.

Petrolo's flagship Galatrona is a good wine, but it comes across as a bit lean and lacking in depth in 2013. The fruit never has a chance to fully emerge in a wine that remains both compact and abrupt. Both bottles I tasted were disappointing relative to Galatrona's historical level of quality.Antonio Galloni1st October 2016
