Nestled in the Colli Arentini, on the edge of the Chianti Hills, this 100% Merlot is truly remarkable. With vines now aged between 25 and 35 years and producing minuscule yields, they are reaching their peak, delivering exceptional fruit.
The region's clay-rich soils, similar to those found on Bordeaux’s right bank, contribute to the outstanding quality of the Merlot produced here.
What the critics say:
"The aromas of black currants, graphite, lavender and violets are gorgeous. Black olives and walnuts, too. Medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannins, a racy texture and small black berry-like flavors. Iron undertones as well as dark chocolate, dried sage and rosemary. Vertical nature to this. One for the cellar. Pure merlot. From organically grown grapes. Best after 2030."
"The 2023 Galatrona, 100% Merlot, is soft, plush and sensual. Dark blue/purplish fruit, cloves, new leather, menthol and licorice all meld together in the glass. Soft, caressing contours shape this mid-weight, understated vintage of the estate1s flagship wine. The 2023 is not a huge Galatrona but is instead a wine that impresses with its finesse. This is a step up from the 2022. "
