Galatrona is a pure Merlot in a class of its own. Black-red ruby in the glass. Black berries, fine woody spice and some leather on the nose. Very generous fruit flavours and extremely complex on the palate, it glides elegantly into the depths until it is picked up by a finely woven tannin and leads into a long and finesse-rich finish. A wine that has no need to hide behind Masseto & Co. On the contrary, for us it has been Italy's Merlot benchmark for years. SUPERIORE.DE
"Rich ruby colour with a violet hue. Shows a lot of sweet, dark berry fruit on the nose, lots of blackberry and wild raspberry, plus fine tobacco and chocolate notes, some cardamom. Fresh, dark berry fruit on the palate, juicy and with good tension, very easy to drink, fine, elegant tannins." Falstaff
"The Galatrona 2022 with 100% Merlot, is another very attractive wine from Petrolo. It offers a beautiful upfront appeal that matches its uncomplicated personality. Blue and violet fruits, liquorice, lavender, spices and mocha blend together." Vinous
"The Petrolo 2022 Val d'Arno di Sopra Galatrona is a beautiful wine with an elegantly focused and lean style. The wine shows a core of dark fruits with wild berries and pressed rose. This medium-bodied Tuscan Merlot finishes with lingering freshness." Wine Advocate
"The promising 2022 shows great freshness on the nose, where wild berries compete with savoury mineral notes and hints of herbs. On the palate, the fruit is intense but perfectly balanced, the tannins are super-fine and the finish is infinitely long and impeccably precise. The current owner Luca Sanjust inherited Petrolo from his mother Lucia, who, under the early guidance of the legendary tasting master Giulio Gambelli, established a production of outstanding quality in the then little-known Colli Aretini area. Merlot has been an integral part of production since the 1980s, and on the clay soils of the Galatrona vineyard on the cooler left bank of the Arno, the variety produces wines with bright, juicy fruit and extreme elegance that are different from the Merlots of the Tuscan coast. Pure class." Decanter
"The floral aromas are captivating, with flavours of violets, lilacs, orange peel, raspberries, rose petals and some oranges. It is medium to full-bodied with crisp and open-grained tannins that are creamy and flattering. The finish is endless. Crisp and energetic. A wine that makes you think and gives great pleasure. Of such purity. It's like eating perfectly ripened grape must. In many ways already drinkable now, but it will develop wonderfully. A new reference point for Merlot in Italy." James Suckling
