Petra 'Hebo' Toscana Rosso is a captivating red blend crafted in the heart of Tuscany's celebrated Maremma region. Born from the visionary ambition of the Moretti family, the estate is nestled amidst hills with ancient calcareous soils and the characteristic blue clay of the Apennines, close to the Tyrrhenian Sea. This stunning terroir, with its mineral-rich soils and Mediterranean climate, imparts depth, elegance, and freshness to the grapes. 'Hebo' is an artful union of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Franc, carefully vinified to preserve optimal fruit character while showcasing the unique local terroir.
Expertly nurtured vineyards and meticulous cellar craft combine to create a wine of vibrant personality and balance. Sustainable practices, low yields, and selective harvesting all ensure that only the most concentrated, flavourful grapes contribute to the final blend. Matured in a mix of used barriques, large barrels, concrete, and stainless steel, 'Hebo' radiates with both freshness and complexity, making it a compelling choice for lovers of modern Tuscan reds.
