2022 Petra - Toscana Rosso IGT Hebo Super Tuscan (750ml)
Founded by the Moretti family behind Bellavista, the 2022 Petra Hebo blends fifty percent Cabernet Sauvignon, forty percent Merlot, and ten percent Sangiovese into a structured Super Tuscan that highlights the maritime-influenced soils of Suvereto in the Tuscan Maremma.
Every cluster is hand-harvested at peak sugar-acid balance and fermented exclusively with native yeasts in temperature-regulated stainless steel vats. The base wine then settles for roughly a year across large neutral Slavonian oak casks and a measured portion of French barriques, preserving bright fruit character while softening tannins. Upon release, the 2022 vintage presents a vivid ruby core offering an aromatic profile of crushed black cherry, blueberry, violet, and Mediterranean thyme built over a foundation of wet-stone minerality. The mouthfeel balances crisp natural acidity against polished texture, carrying flavors of stewed blackberry and sun-dried fig into a savory, persistent finish. Its moderate alcohol level and supple structure make it highly food-friendly, readily complementing char-grilled lamb chops, slow-braised beef shanks, roasted pork loin, or aged cheeses such as Pecorino toscano and Parmigiano reggiano. Decant for thirty minutes prior to serving, or store upright between fifty-five and sixty degrees Fahrenheit to maintain optimal integration through six years of cellaring.
