“Zingari” Rosso Toscana IGT 2019
Zingari, made from a blend of Merlot, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Sangiovese, has a dark ruby red colour and a characteristic Maremma aroma. Warm and round on the palate with notes of blueberries, blackberries and spices. A multi-layered wine with lively acidity that is sure to find many admirers. SUPERIORE.DE
"A reduced nose of freshly poured tar and sulfur meets a luxurious contrast of muddled raspberry and strawberry, before hints of top soil and tobacco emerge. The palate of this wine turns to fresher red fruit, mostly cherry, with soil and gravel. Linear but substantial tannins and a firm backbone of acid work well together." Wine Enthusiast
"A lean yet fluid red wine with black cherry fruit mingling with tomato leaves, juniper and sanguine notes, with light tannins gracing the finish. Shows fine balance and length." Wine Spectator
"Sour cherries, salted plums, dried herbs, mushrooms and tomato leaves on the nose. Medium to full-bodied with fine tannins. Lots of juicy fruit on the palate with a herbaceous, slightly leafy character." James Suckling

“Potenti” Cabernet Sauvignon Toscana IGT 2019
Potenti, a concentrated and single-varietal Cabernet Sauvignon, is full of finesse with a touch of rurality, typical of the wines from this wild and untamed corner of Tuscany. Refined bouquet, rich and dense on the palate, the mineral note closely interwoven with the wood nuances. Potenti will develop into a great wine in a few years. SUPERIORE.DE
"Cabernet Sauvignon signature of sun-warmed blueberries, flowers, also pepper and sandalwood; combines fresh texture with character and a red berry fruit finish." Vinum
"Strong ruby with garnet red nuances. Finely marked nose with fine wood spice and ripe forest berries, underlaid with tobacco notes. The palate is characterised by firm, fine-grained tannin, ripe fruit, and striking freshness, with good balance and decent pressure on the finish." Falstaff
"Aromas of blackcurrants, tobacco leaves and bark with some praline and chocolate orange. Medium-bodied with sleek, well-integrated tannins, supporting layers of fresh dark-berry fruit. Juicy finish." James Suckling

"Pure varietal Merlot that tones beguilingly of blackberries, undergrowth and herbs; powerful construction, balanced, nice progression on notes of plums, pepper, also bitter almond notes." Vinum
"Dark ruby core with garnet rims. Restrained on the nose with hints of blueberry and forest floor. A little clearer on the palate of cherry and floral notes, striking acidity and fine-grained, somewhat astringent tannins with noticeable wood." Falstaff
"A creamy and delicious red with redcurrant and fresh-herb aromas and flavors. Medium body, fine tannins and a creamy finish. Balanced and delicious now, but better in a year or two, to allow the wood to resolve into the wine." James Suckling

The beautiful Petra winery in Suvereto is part of Gruppo Terra Moretti, the wine empire of the Lombard developer Vittorio Moretti, which extends over several vineyards. It is run by his daughter Francesca. Moretti chose the southernmost tip of the province of Livorno for its headquarters, with the ferruginous hills of the Val di Cornia. Sangiovese also grows and thrives there in a Mediterranean microclimate, although this autochthonous grape variety is not exactly typical of the Maremma. In 2006, however, the plots intended for this type of grape and situated on a gentle hill in the hinterland for the first time produced exceptional qualities. All the vineyards of the relatively young company were planted by Francesca Moretti in collaboration with the internationally renowned Italian "pope of postures" Attilio Scienza is analyzing and researching.
In the vineyards, red varieties are cultivated on rich soils - among them the Tuscan flagship varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, but also some Syrah and Alicante. The grapes are processed into wines that have become more and more convincing stylistically over the years. The slopes of the Petra vineyard are also planted with white Malvasia, Trebbiano, Clarette and Vermentino varieties. These grapes are intended for sweet wines.
In the modern and functional cellar designed by the famous architect Mario Botta - it is one of the most impressive buildings of its kind in the world - the oenologists Beppe Caviola and Augusto Graziano are responsible for the vinification. In the cellar, the use of machinery is minimised during grape processing and must production. The production cycle is modern and practical, but never far from tradition. The berries are processed according to the principle of gravity. Among the very different estate wines, the Petra Rosso, a blend of Merlot and Cabernet, is the real performer of the house. Recently, however, the potenti pressed from Cabernet Sauvignon in pure varieties has also been able to convince at tastings time and again.
In addition to Petra, the vineyard kingdom of Moretti also includes the Tuscan estate La Badiola, located in Castiglione della Pescaia, as well as Bellavista and Contadi Castaldi, two farms in Franciacorta. SUPERIORE.DE
