During a recent trip to Tuscany I was very impressed to visit the Petra Winery in the Val de Cornia. The region is to the south of Maremma and the winery is located in a beautiful setting, looking towards the coast and the island of Elba. Here you see one of the barrel-ageing halls and the tunnel that runs off it into the rock of the hill behind the winery. The striking, architect-designed winery combines form and function giving a spacious and controlled environment for both winemaking ang ageing. The eye-catching structure fits harmoniously into its surrounding landscape.
I really enjoyed the wines I tasted here, they are all labelled as IGT Toscana. The range starts with the Hebo, a blend of Sangiovese with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The second wine tasted was a lively, elegant Merlot called Querceagobbe and the range is completed by a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that is simply called Petra.
