“Torrione” Pietraviva Rosso Val d’Arno di Sopra DOC 2018 (BIO)

Fattoria Petrolo | Tuscany
Petrolo Soc. Agr. s.s. | Loc. Petrolo, 30 | IT 52021 Bucine

Radiant ruby red with brick-red reflections. Plums and sour cherries on the nose, underpinned by tobacco nuances and dried violet flowers. The fine-meshed tannins combine wonderfully with the notes of red fruits and liquorice on the finish. Very juicy, clear and balanced. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich ruby with light garnet. In the nose emphatically spicy, slightly smoky, shows discreet ferrous nuances, in the reverberation of very ripe cherries and plums, also of graphite. Fruity-spicy on the palate, stretches juicily over the tongue, with some pressure and noticeable tannin, minimal after-drying." Falstaff

"Petrolo's 2018 Torrione is fabulous. Deep, inky and generous, the 2018 packs a serious punch. Ripe dark red fruit, chocolate, spice, leather and tobacco are all kicked up a few notches, with sweet floral top notes that add aromatic lift. The 2018 is an especially boisterous Torrione, with all the elements in the right place. In a word: delicious." Vinous

"This is such a fun edition of this wine with a fluttering heart sketched onto the front label. I imagine that the heart could be dedicated to proprietor Luca Sanjust's rambunctious mother who recently passed away. The wine opens to a dark and rich appearance with punchy aromas of tart cherry and wild berry. Warm aromas of tobacco, spice and cedar wood appear gradually as the wine opens in the glass." Robert Parker

"A red with plenty of blackberry, black-olive, floral and oyster-shell character. It's full-bodied, yet layered, extremely polished and beautiful. A dusty texture. Hazelnut and walnut undertones. From organically grown grapes. A little more merlot and cabernet sauvignon in the blend." James Suckling
