Petra Hebo Coupage
50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 10% Sangiovese
From the name of an Etruscan settlement of ancient origin, Hebo refers to the historical roots of Suvereto, and indeed it represents, in the Petra range, a homage to the territoriality of the Val di Cornia, where the international grapes, in osmosis with Sangiovese, boast a long history and are not your Johnny-come-lately. It is produced with a classic assembly of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and sangiovese, vines introduced in the area by Elisa Bonaparte Baciocchi, princess of Piombino since 1805 and enlightened woman of wine. Ruby red, the bouquet reveals fresh hints of black cherries, violets, blueberries, peonies, mineral hints and nuances of Mediterranean scrub. On the palate the wine is fresh, sapid, with a slender body, pleasantly fruity, subtle in its sapidity and with balanced and gentle tannins.
