This 2011 Petra is a varietal Sangiovese from vineyards near the town of Suvereto, on the hills of the Val di Corona. A modern winery in a region the with vine growing roots (no pun intended) going back to the Greeks and Etruscans. Even after an hour in the decanter this wine has not fully opened. In spite of that, it is still very smooth on the palate with a noticeable earthiness, leather, tobacco and quite a bit of licorice on the finish. Good and juicy acidity, yet tannins are a little tight. Will definitely benefit from a little more ageing. #petra#sangiovese#tuscanwine ##italianredwine#suvereto#2011TuscanVintage#toscanaIGT#Alto#FrancescaMoretti#VittorioMoretti#PetraAlto — 7 years ago
