Winemaker Notes

Galatrona is made entirely from pure Merlot grapes harvested around the middle of September. The wine shows smooth, sweet tannins. Year after year, it has achieved remarkable scores, and has been referred to as the "Le Pin of Tuscany" by Wine Spectator.

Professional Ratings

    A massive expression of Merlot, the 2010 Galatrona is heaven-sent. The layers are infinite here spanning dark fruit, spice and chocolate. I fall in love with this wine year after year. The mouth is caressed with stirring complexity and fine tannins that feel silky and smooth. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030.

    Aromas of black olives, violets and fresh fruit follow through to a full body, with a dense palate of dark fruits and olives. Long and polished. Handmade wine. You sense it. Pure Merlot sensation. Try in 2014.

    Very pure, exhibiting black cherry, blackberry, wild herb and iron flavors. A touch austere, restrained even, yet elegant and refined, with a vibrant structure backed by firm, integrated tannins. Long aftertaste. Non-blind Petrolo Galatrona vertical (November 2021). Drink now.

Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.

A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
