Petra, located in Suverto in Maremma Tuscany, is a project started by Vittorio Moretti alonside his daughter Francesca. When the Moretti Family in 1997 purchased the land to build up Petra, there were already vineyards around the spring hence the decision of exploring the potential of Syrah, Merlot, Sangiovese and Petit Verdot varietals in this particular area of the estate.
Soft, respectful, with a lowimpact, like the overallapproach that leads from thegrapes to
the bottle. In the heart of thehill are the aging chambers (incasks and bottles) and, inaddition to the space reservedto Slavonian oak barrels, a longgallery penetrates deeply andcomes to an end in front of asolid rock wall.
The estate is steeped in a very special ecosystem, whichbreathes and whispers,
permeated by warmth and with anunderground current which pervades the soil and reachesus through the produce of the land – grapes, but a lotmore too.
One of the most marked expressions of the area, whose geological characteristics and microclimate are expressed distinctly by a varietal – sangiovese – that has always called Tuscany home.
The name of Hebo is taken from an ancient Etruscan settlement, and recalls the historical roots of Suvereto.

The nose is savory and piercing, with aromas of tar, stone, balsamic and green and black pepper, with velvety undertones of dark fruit.

A tasty young merlot with bright black fruit and a smoky tobacco-leaf note that pervades both the nose and palate. Medium- to full-bodied with very fine, velvety tannins and a slightly steely note from the oak which will dissipate with time. Drinkable now but best to give it a little time.

The nose on this Tuscan Merlot is all umami at first. Mushrooms, seaweed and moss roll into olives and balsamic vinegar, before a bit of wild cherry and fresh plum skin. Cherries, strawberries and chocolate arrive on the palate even with the savory notes still present, held together with substantial tannins and decisive acid. — Danielle Callegari
