Galatrona is one of the best Merlots made in Italy (definitely in the top five) and this vintage keeps the banner flying high. The 2015 Galatrona is luscious, soft, soothing and ever-so intense. The wine wraps thickly over the senses and the palate with lasting flavors of dark fruit and spice. Specifically, you get black cherry, pressed blackberry, toasted spice and bitter chocolate or fragrant espresso. The wine shows depth and length, width and soaring heights. It's young now, so put the bottle at the back of your cellar.

Rich and opulent, with cherry, plum, floral, earth, wild herb and tobacco flavors. Dense and powerful, with fine equilibrium and length. This shows tannins, yet they're refined. Non-blind Petrolo Galatrona vertical (November 2021). Best from 2024 through 2045. 150 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Val d'Arno di Sopra Select to Add
