Galatrona – Petrolo 2022 – Val d’Arno di Sopra DOC Merlot, vigna Galatrona

The nose is fruity and offers a fine vanilla side, and would benefit from decanting to release more of the fruit. It reveals notes of fleshy strawberry, crushed raspberry and small notes of vanilla, associated with fine touches of boysenberry and licorice stick. The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, suavity, freshness, good definition and a certain unctuosity in freshness. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of pulpy raspberry, crushed red berries, and small notes of pulpy cherry, associated with touches of cassis, violet, as well as fine hints of tonka bean, black olive and chocolate. Tannins are precise and mellow. A wine that needs time but offers freshness.
