The vineyard is planted with a density of 6.250 vines per hectare, bush-trained vines according to organic and biodynamic practices. Grapes are harvested in 15 kg crates; a careful manual bunches selection and an optical selection of the grapes follow.

Spontaneous fermentation in French oak vats, up to 35 days. Ageing in French oak casks for 22 – 24 months. A minimum of 24 months of bottle maturation follows.

Deep ruby red colour. The nose is expressive and inviting, showcasing aromas of ripe red cherries, strawberries, and blackberries. These fruit notes are beautifully complemented by hints of wild herbs, subtle spices, and a touch of earthiness, reminiscent of the Tuscan landscape. 

On the palate, Petrucci Melo is medium-bodied and well-structured, showcasing a delightful balance between fruit and acidity. Flavors of ripe red cherries and raspberries unfold, accompanied by notes of plums and a hint of spice. The wine’s vibrant acidity adds liveliness and freshness, while the fine, silky tannins provide a smooth and harmonious mouthfeel. The finish is long and persistent, leaving lingering hints of red fruit and subtle herbal undertones.

The wine with a wise soul. It is a monolith of elegance and finesse, depth and intensity; an exaltation of ancient memories of the place where it is born. Certified Organic.
