Splendidly complex, the Petrucci Melo presents a deep ruby red color. On the nose, it reveals seductive aromas of ripe red fruit, spicy notes of black pepper, and delicate hints of tobacco and cocoa, a result of aging in French oak barrels that enriches the profile without overwhelming the taster. On the palate, the wine is rich, with excellent tannic structure promising good aging potential. The balance between acidity and tannins is sublime, with a persistent finish that leaves a pleasant sensation of elegance and harmony.
Served at a temperature of 18°C, the Petrucci Melo DOC Orcia is the ideal companion for flavorful dishes such as roasts, game, and aged cheeses. This wine not only tells the story of a unique territory but also that of a winery that has made quality and innovation its pillars.
