In jargon, one speaks of a Bordeaux blend to indicate those wines, produced all over the world, that are born from the happy marriage of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. Both varieties from the French region of Bordeaux lend themselves, in the various countries, to the addition of some native vines to complete the blend and make it closer to the tastes of that particular market. Thus, in Tuscany, Cabernet and Merlot are often blended with Sangiovese in the production of wines that, by convention, are defined as Super Tuscan. Such is the case with this Hebo from Petra. The grapes, harvested by hand only when fully ripe, are skilfully processed with great attention to fermentation temperatures. The wine produced is left to mature in the cellar for a period of no less than one year in Slavonian oak casks and, to a small extent, in barriques. The result is a wine characterized by an intense ruby red colour. To the nose, red and black fruit dominate over everything, leaving room only for a slight spiciness due to the expert aging in wood. On the palate, however, it is well-structured. Justly tannic and pleasantly long finish.
