Tasting notes:
In the glass, the Galatrona Petrolo Merlot 2020 presents itself in a deep, intense ruby red that reflects its power and complexity. The nose reveals lush aromas of dark berries such as blackberries and blackcurrants, combined with an elegant spiciness of black pepper, liquorice and a fine woody note. On the palate, the wine is powerful and supple at the same time, with a full fruitiness and a pronounced structure. The tannins are well integrated and give the wine a pleasant fullness and complexity. The finish is long and persistent, with a pleasant freshness and a subtle, spicy note that lingers for a long time.

The Galatrona Petrolo Merlot IGT 2020 is a versatile accompaniment to a variety of dishes. It goes particularly well with rich meat dishes such as fillet of beef, lamb chops or a braised roast. This Merlot also harmonizes perfectly with hearty pasta dishes with meat sauces or a risotto with mushrooms. The wine is also a wonderful partner to mature cheeses such as Pecorino, Grana Padano or a spicy Gorgonzola. For a special pleasure experience, we also recommend pairing it with dark chocolate or chocolate desserts, which perfectly complement the fruity and spicy notes of the wine. Galatrona Merlot is a wine that can be enjoyed young, but will also mature and develop over the years. Ideal for special occasions or as the highlight of an upscale dinner.
