The 2010 Zingari bursts from the glass with juicy dark berries, flowers, spices and mint. This is a hugely overachieving wine that delivers remarkable quality for the money. I would prefer to drink the 2010 while it remains fresh, vibrant and juicy. It is a great wine for the money. Zingari is Merlot, Sangiovese, Syrah and Petit Verdot. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2014.
I rarely hear Petra mentioned in a discussion of the best wines and wineries from the Tuscan coast, but year after year the wines are reliably outstanding and fairly priced for the neighborhood. The house style is one of bold, exuberant wines. Frankly, I am not sure it is possible to make anything but that type of wine in this part of Maremma. Petra is part of Vittorio Moretti’s empire, which is best known for its crown jewel, Bellavista. In 2009 the estate decided not to make their top selection, the Petra Rosso. At a time when virtually all wineries bottle their flagships pretty much every year, it is refreshing to see a winery willing to skip a vintage it deems less important.
