2021 Petrolo Torrione
£29.00
“Inviting aromas of dark and blue fruits together with subtle notes of chocolate and spices with hints of blue flowers and crushed stones. Medium- to full-bodied, complex and structured, but ethereal and weightless at the same time. That’s where generosity meets delicacy. It’s fluid, dynamic and so drinkable now, yet better to give it a couple of years in the bottle. From organically grown grapes.”
95 Points, James Suckling (tasted July 2023)
“The nose is like a cool, damp forest, with dark berries, fresh earth, but with a quiet rumbling of heat and savory undertones, and the palate maintains the balancing act between cool and warm, sweet and savory, buoyant but indulgent. Valdarno delivers at every price point, but this is a particularly stellar deal.”
94 Points, Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast

Product Description
You will find Petrolo in the heart of Tuscany, placed on the hills of Val d’Arno di Sopra on the southeastern side of Chianti Classico, in a lovely quiet area full of charm and history.
Torrione is a wine cherished by Petrolo, wanted by Lucia Bazzocchi Sanjust in 1988 and made at the time with the help of former wine consultant Giulio Gambelli. Torrione marks the beginning of the winery’s new approach to winemaking aiming to produce wines of the highest quality.
Torrione is the “chateau” of Petrolo, a blend of the grapes of all the vineyards: not only Sangiovese from Bòggina but also from other historical vineyards, including Merlot from Galatrona and Cabernet Sauvignon from Campo Lusso. A perfect example of a balanced, clear and deep red. A wine that tells, better than any other, the true identity of our territory.
