2018 Petra ALTO Toscana IGT Magnum WB (1,5l)

The Petra estate is steeped in a very special ecosystem, which breathes and whispers, permeated by warmth and with an underground current which pervades the soil and reaches us through the produce of the land – grapes, but a lot more too. Petra’s landscape and nature are unique. Alto is one of the most marked expressions of the area. Its geological characteristics and microclimate are expressed distinctly by a varietal – Sangiovese – that has always called Tuscany home.

Smell and taste: The aromas revolve around undergrowth, humus, red berries and violets, accompanied by mineral notes in the background. The taste is fresh and savory, elegant and complex, though not without a certain punch.
Serving suggestions: Enjoy with Ossobuco, veal table top with beans and tomatoes or lamb ragout with chickpeas and dried figs
Serve at: 15-18° C

About Petra: The Petra estate is steeped in a very special ecosystem, which breathes and whispers, permeated by warmth and with an underground current which pervades the soil and reaches us through the produce of the land – grapes, but a lot more too. Petra’s landscape and nature are unique::the green belt of the Colline Metallifere, near the Montioni Natural Park, with the Poggio Tre Cancelli Natural Reserve, up to the Sterpaia Coastal Park, looking over the Tyrrhenian Sea, a constant presence on the horizon, a single blue tone in a landscape otherwise dominated by two essential colours – green and russet. Like many of our partner wineries, Petra is also a family business managed by a beautiful and talented Francesca Moretti.
