This is the flagship wine from Luca Sanjust's Petrolo estate located not too far from Arezzo in the Valdarno area of eastern Tuscany. The 2016 Galatrona is indeed a masterpiece to behold. This wine offers thick layering and deep intensity with aromas that offer an incredible range, starting off with luscious dark chocolate on one side and ending with fragrant white truffle on the far end of its long aromatic trajectory. You get plummy fruit, spice, sweet tobacco and tilled earth packed tight in between. This full-bodied Merlot is softly textured and succulent with long-lasting flavor intensity on the close. Petrolo's Merlot is planted in a ten-hectare parcel distinguished by thick clay soils. I have been watching Galatrona's evolution for years and have tasted the wine on occasion in various vertical tastings. This is my favorite vintage made thus far.

The aromas of dried flowers, stones, dark tea leaves, hot tile, and dark berries. Full-bodied, yet tight and linear. Wonderful drive and depth. An extremely long and focused finish. A great wine. Needs four or five years to come together. Try in 2022.

This is full of enticing blackberry, blueberry and plum flavors, with a spine of acidity, iron accents and beefy tannins. Long and well-proportioned, this needs time to integrate. Tobacco and spice hints detail the finish. Best from 2022 through 2033. 625 cases made, 75 cases imported. — BS

Fattoria Petrolo
Le paysage de Chianti, plus précisément la sous-région des Colli Aretini dans le sud-ouest de l’appellation, sert de cadre à la Tenuta Petrolo, propriété de la quatrième génération de la famille Bazzocchi-Sanjust dont la mission est de produire des vins à la qualité optimale. Pour cela, elle fait appel aux compétences expertes de l’œnologue, Simone Cuccoli, et de l’œnologue conseil, Carlo Ferrini. Résultat ? Ce domaine de 31 hectares élabore l’un des meilleurs 100% merlot de la Toscane. La cuvée Galatrona Merlot, tout en richesse, rivalise sans effort avec les meilleurs Pomerols. Se positionnant comme le fleuron de la gamme, Torrione, un sangiovese engageant, incarne l’esprit de la propriété. Torrione est au sangiovese, ce que Galatrona est au merlot. Cinq autres vins viennent compléter la sélection, dont certaines sélections parcellaires à l’instar de Campolusso et Boggina.
