Producer

Producer

The Petrolo vineyard stretches across sun-drenched hills, benefiting from a Mediterranean climate ideal for growing Merlot. The soils, rich in clay and limestone, impart a unique complexity to the grapes, enhancing their aromatic expression. Thanks to meticulous attention to every stage of cultivation, the estate preserves the authenticity of its terroir, allowing the vines to flourish fully in this natural setting.

Owner and history

Today, the Petrolo estate is run by passionate owners who carry on the family legacy. Their commitment to quality and authenticity is reflected in every bottle produced. They continually invest in sustainable farming methods and innovative winemaking techniques, while respecting local traditions. Their vision is clear: to create wines that tell the story of their terroir and the passion that drives them.

Vinification and aging

The Galatrona 2023 is crafted with meticulous care. After hand-harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, promoting the extraction of aromas and tannins. Aging in oak barrels refines the wine's structure while incorporating subtle woody notes. This process, combining tradition and expertise, results in a wine of great complexity and remarkable elegance.
