Aromas of dried flowers, dried berries, cherries and hints of stones. Full-bodied, very firm and silky. An intense underlying energy of acidity and a lovely finish. 75% sangiovese, 20% merlot and 5% cabernet sauvignon. One of the best ever? Drink in 2020.

Merlot. The bouquet opens to ripe cherry and dried raspberry with moist earth, exotic spice and chewing tobacco. The wine is plush and rich with a hint of that tangy Sangiovese acidity on the close. This wine was first produced in 1988, and some 50,000 bottles are made today.

This Sangiovese-dominated blend is a reminder that the Petrolo vineyards are very close to Chianti Classico. It used to be a barrique-aged wine, but today it aged in larger barrels to moderate the oak influence. This shows a fresh and elegant sour- cherry nose. Sleek and silky, it also has force and energy, and there's no lack of tannic structure behind the cherry fruit. Long.

Tør, italiensk, let krydret, virker moden og balanceret. Afslappet stil uden mange kanter; den er blevet til rigtig vin. Slutter med en nydelig saftig snert, rød frugt.
