“Torrione” Rosso Toscana IGT 2019

Fattoria Petrolo | Tuscany
Petrolo s.a. 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

"Shiny ruby red. Shows a lot of clear fruit on the nose, of sour cherry, cranberry and cloves. Fine-meshed tannin on the palate, embedded in fresh fruit, salty." Falstaff

"The 2019 Torrione is an attractive, easygoing wine from Petrolo. Sweet floral and spice notes lift a core of ripe, red cherry fruit, tobacco, incense and dried herbs. This is a pretty laid-back vintage for the Torrione, but that's not a bad thing." Vinous

"Sweet oak spices with strawberry fruits and some juicy cherries with spicy undertones and hints of leather and cigar box." Decanter

"The Petrolo 2019 Torrione is Sangiovese with with smaller parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This is a terrific wine with an exciting delivery of fresh and bold fruit that recalls pressed cherry and wild plum. One of the main features of the 2019 vintage is that standout concentration. The wine delivers good texture and richness, yet the intensity is well played and contained. A lingering note of sweetness that I also notice on Petrolo's other 2019 releases is present here." Robert Parker

Very perfumed with sweet-berry and fresh-flower aromas that already show brightness and beauty. Perfumed. Full-bodied with very well-integrated tannins and pure, vivid fruit at the finish. This is all in finesse and depth. Drinkable now, but better in a couple of years." James Suckling
