Potenti Toscana IGT 1,5 l Magnum - Petra

The Potenti Toscana 1.5 l Magnum by Petra from Tuscany reveals a dense, purple-red color in the glass. If you tilt the glass slightly, you can see a transition of the color towards garnet red at the edges of this barrel-aged wine. If you swirl the glass, this red wine reveals a high viscosity, which can be seen in the clear stained glass windows at the edge of the glass. In the glass, this red wine from Petra shows aromas of blackberries, mulberries, blueberries and blackcurrants, complemented by black bread, beech smoke and cocoa bean. This red from Petra is ideal for all wine lovers who like it dry. However, it is never austere or brittle, as you would naturally expect from a wine from the Icon wine segment. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully fleshy and dense. The finish of this red wine from the Tuscany wine-growing region, which is capable of maturing, is convincing with a beautiful aftertaste.

Vinification of the Potenti Toscana 1.5 l Magnum from Petra

This wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, namely Cabernet Sauvignon. Only first-class grapes were used for this wonderfully powerful single-varietal wine from Petra. After the grape harvest, the grapes are transported to the press house as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in small wooden vats at controlled temperatures. At the end of fermentation, the Potenti Toscana 1.5 l Magnum is aged for several months in oak barriques.
