The Architecture of Mario Botta
Petra is a nature reserve immersed in the unique and diverse territory of the Val di Cornia. The Swiss architect Mario Botta, commissioned by Vittorio Moretti, has designed a meeting space that is a perfect blend of form and function. The result is an architectural feat that is soft, respectful and low-impact, as is the entire pathway from grape to glass.
A rational design that highlights the measure, beauty and depth of the landscape.
The wines of Petra
Harnessing the past and the force of nature
Near the ancient village of Suvereto, home to the majestic oaks that produce cork (sughero) on the ferrous hills of the Val di Cornia, looking out over the Tyrrhenian Sea: it is here, nestled in the spectacular nature of the Maremma region, that the magic of Petra emerges.
Petra
60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc
So symbolic of the project that it bears its name.
So symbolic of the project that it bears its name.
Bright ruby red in colour. Spicy notes of coffee and liquorice, which together with balsamic notes of Mediterranean scrub, yield a bouquet of great complexity and finesse. The nose discovers both power and volume, mitigated by freshness and minerality.
Hebo
Merlot 55%, Cabernet Sauvignon 20%, Cabernet Franc 10% e Sangiovese 15%
Produced with a classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese, it is structured but fresh on the palate, with highly satisfying momentum. Pleasantly fruity on the finish, it has delicate, savoury notes and gentle tannins.
Alto
100% Sangiovese
Its geological and microclimatic characteristics are clearly expressed through a vine, Sangiovese, which finds its habitat of choice in Tuscany. The palate proffers freshness and flavour, elegance and complexity, albeit in the wake of a certain vigour.
Quercegobbe
100% Merlot
The vineyard that yields this wine is located on the edge of the Mediterranean scrub, on a breezy hill overlooking the sea. As vigorous as it is balanced, it is an impactful red that does not fail to meet expectations. On the palate it is dense, broadly sumptuous, soft and with polished tannins
Potenti
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
The concentrated and brilliant ruby colour ushers in an aromatic spectrum that is rich in highlights and nuances. The palate is powerful, vigorous, and rediscovers the sensations offered by the nose, corralled by the wine’s fresh and profound personality.
Colle al fico
100% Syrah
Intense and brilliant ruby red. The nose expresses an array of aromas that is rediscovered with great consistency on the palate, amplifying the mouthfeel and plumbing the depths of memory and recollection. A red that expresses both its varietal and its terroir.
