The 2013 Galatrona pretty much sold out in pre sales before it's official release last year. The quality is outstanding and the Merlot grape offers a heightened sense of sharpness and focus in a slightly cooler vintage such as this. Galatrona exhibits a plush and rich bouquet that is embellished with soft cherry and blackberry nuances followed by spice, sweet tobacco, chocolate and crushed granite. The wine is amply fleshed out and generous. It offers an incredible sense of overall balance and irresistible drinking pleasure.

Very pure and very lacy, featuring black cherry and black currant aromas and flavors. Lean, a bit angular even, with an underlying mineral element. Very young, taut and long, this shows fine balance but will need time. Non-blind Petrolo Galatrona vertical (November 2021). Best from 2024 through 2043. 250 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Val d'Arno di Sopra Select to Add
