Tasting Note

The color is a very deep ruby-red. An ample and intriguing nose opens with the fruited notes of blueberry, raspberry, black cherry and plum, followed by the mediterranean contingent: myrtle, rosemary and licorice. The body is dense, full, smooth, with polished tannins. Vigorous yet balanced, this is a striking red that will not fall short of expectations.

About the Winery

Petra

Elisa Bonaparte Baciocchi, Napoleon's sister, grand duchess of Tuscany and lady of Lucca and Piombino, picked this location in 1808 to plant the first seed of an agrarian and vinicultural endeavour. While travelling to Bordeaux with her father, Francesca Moretti discovered the area 200 years later. She wanted to study horticulture and oenology since she was fascinated with their cultural and historical significance. Tuscany was a no-brainer at the time because of its freshly earned status as a wine area. A few kilometres outside Piombino in the Suvereto region, Francesca's father, Vittorio Moretti, bought 148 acres in San Lorenzo in 1997. And the beginning of a significant modern project was established. Francesca Moretti discovered her second home here, a place that she loved just as much as her first one in Franciacorta.
