Antonio Galloni - Wine Advocate
The 2005 Zingari, Petra’s entry-level wine,
is made from a blend of Merlot, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Sangiovese
sourced from the estate’s less well-exposed vines and aged
in stainless steel. The 2005 exhibits a dark ruby color and perfumed
aromatics along with a very characteristic Maremma warmth on the
palate, where notes of blueberries, blackberries, licorice and spices
emerge from the glass. It is a highly pleasing wine that is sure
to find many admirers.
Anticipated maturity: '07 - '12.
