Petrolo's Galatrona was born in Vald'Arno di Sopra in the green and lush province of Arezzo. The current estate was part of the ancient Galatrona fiefdom in the Middle Ages and the ancient tower and the baptismal font of Giovanni della Robbia bear witness to this. The work philosophy is strongly linked to tradition and respect for nature in its phases: only with careful observation of the fruits it offers and their intrinsic qualities will it be possible to transform them in the best way, in the belief that wine is the alchemical transformation of nature into culture. Based on these principles, today the winery operates a scrupulous grape selection process and low productivity in the vineyard to guarantee the healthiness of the plants and bunches.

The Galatrona di Petrolo vineyards were planted around the end of the 1980s. The soil here is optimal for luxuriant growth: there are presences of clay with galestro, alberese and sandstone, a condition that guarantees that the final product has structure, elegance and balance. The cultivation regime chosen is organic and human intervention in the vineyard is reduced to the bare minimum, banning the use of synthetic chemicals and pesticides in favor of integral grass cover. The sale is conducted manually in the box and the best grapes are selected on a sorting table. In the cellar, alcoholic fermentation takes place thanks to the action of indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks; frequent and delicate pumping over and long maceration follow. Refines in French barriques for 18-20 months with constant battonage for the first 6 months.

The color of Galatrona di Petrolo is a dark ruby red with brilliant reflections. The aromas are reminiscent of blueberries, blackberries and wild strawberries combined with notes of fern and walnut. In the mouth it is structured, elegant and enveloping with a well-present and well-integrated tannin which provides a pleasant persistence for an intriguing drink. Paired perfectly with cuts of grilled and roasted red meat, local game and first courses seasoned with elaborate sauces; also perfect with mature cheeses. Ideal product for romantic evenings in front of the fireplace in winter to enjoy a wine with authentic and genuine flavours.
