    More than two centuries ago, Elisa Bonaparte Baciocchi, Princess of Piombino, had something planted on the ferruginous hills above Suvereto that would change this landscape forever: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon – grape varieties from the Bordelais. The Maremma, still rough and wild at the time, became the testing ground for a woman with a feel for terroir. Francesca Moretti, daughter of Bellavista founder Vittorio, deliberately picks up on this thread with Petra. The name says it all. Petra. Stone. Consistency. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, hand-picked from the Vigneto di Petra in San Lorenzo Alto. Limestone soils with the right balance of clay and skeleton, 10 to 15 per cent slope. Fermentation with natural yeasts in large oak vats, ageing for at least 15 months in French barriques – 25 per cent new – followed by at least 17 months in the bottle. The cellar, a structure by Mario Botta, works with gravity: no pumping, no stress.

    Brilliant ruby red with garnet reflections. The nose is dense and clear: wild blackberry, cherry, followed by balsamic maquis, laurel, pepper and incense – a complexity that hints at depth. Powerful and voluminous on the palate, with a lively freshness and rich, silky tannins. The finish is long, with a hint of salt – the mineral hills of the Val di Cornia overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. SUPERIORE.DE

    "Intense, dark ruby red colour. Ripe plum, dark chocolate and a hint of coffee beans on the nose. Precise on the palate with a present tannin structure, invigorating acidity, lingering, salty final." Falstaff

    "Reliable blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc from vineyards near Suvereto: enchanting aroma of cassis and cardamom; fine-grained tannins and well-integrated acidity on the palate, combining polish and character right into the long final." Vinum
