Petrolo Torrione Toscana 2021
This Estate was bought by the Bazzocchi family in the 1940s and since the mid 80s has been headed by Lucia Bazzocchi Sanjust with the assistance of her son Luca. Petrolo Estate is located at the site of what was originally a small medieval town called Galatrona and a ower from this period (itself built on foundations dating back to the Roman era) still exists on the property.

James Suckling
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.

Wine Enthusiast
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.

Wine Spectator
Bright and bursting with cherry, raspberry and floral notes, this red is harmonious and expressive. Reveals earth, graphite and tobacco accents on the finish, which shows fine length and compact, chalky tannins. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Petrolo 2021 Torrione is a certified organic blend of 85% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon that is fermented in cement and aged in oak vessels of various dimensions. It shows dark fruit with bramble, tree bark, blue flower and sweet cherry. The wine offers mid-weight intensity with a long, silky mouthfeel. There is a point of bright acidity at the end, and even a hit of chili spice.
