Winemaker Notes

Petrolo's "chateau", wine made from the different grapes varietals on the estate. The grapes proportion is the same as the one in the vineyards. A perfect example of a balanced, sharp and deep red – a wine that expresses the real identity of the area.

Torrione is made primarily from Sangiovese grapes, both those that come from historic vines of the 70s and ones more recently planted with high density. The yield per plant is notably restricted, allowing a concentration of all the noble components of the grape, fundamental for the full-bodied character of this wine.

    Lovely aromas of sweet fruit, flowers such as violets and black olives. Sandalwood undertones. Full body and extremely fine tannins. Persistent and sexy. Shows such intensity and finesse. Drink in 2019.

    This is lean and taut, with cherry, leather, tobacco, earth and iron flavors. Leans to the dry side in the end, but has depth and character. Turns more elegant and complex with air. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2019 through 2025.

    COMMENTARY: The 2015 Petrolo Torrione is a lovely red wine with a real Old World sense. TASTING NOTES: This wine is alluring, soft, and ready for most food pairings. Its aromas and flavors of dried leather, savory spices, and red fruit should pair it well with grilled pork chops. (Tasted: March 5, 2019, San Francisco, CA)

    On the ripe and sweet side, the 2015 Val d'Arno di Sopra Torrione is a terrific, easy-drinking red wine made near Arezzo in Tuscany. The bouquet is soft and sunny with red fruit aromas, cherry and crème de cassis. The wine offers a mid-weight finish with bright acidity that is characteristic of Sangiovese. This wine is, in fact, mostly Sangiovese with smaller parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This vintage tastes more immediate and accessible.

Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.

A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
