WINE DESCRIPTION

Petra Quercegobbe Merlot, also known as Querce Gobbe, is a premium red wine produced by Petra Winery in Tuscany, Italy. The wine is made from 100% Merlot grapes grown in the Querce Gobbe vineyard, which is located in the heart of the Val di Cornia Suvereto appellation. The vineyard features a unique terroir with a mix of clay, sand, and limestone soils, which impart a distinct character to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels for 18 months. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with rich flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice, and a long, smooth finish. It is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts who appreciate the complexity and elegance of a well-crafted Merlot.

The flavors of red and black fruit are enhanced by subtle notes of vanilla, coffee, and spices. The long finish is smooth, with a touch of earthiness.
