Petrolo Torrione 2019 (92 VM)
“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.” A.G

Petrolo is the definition of a cult winery, with an owner and a story that have helped create its legendary status. While the estate's benchmark wine, the Merlot cru Galatrona, deservedly receives fireworks in the press and is part of the history of Tuscany’s quality revolution in the late 1980s and 1990s, the winery's two other standouts, Torrione and Boggina, are an equally thrilling success - Sangiovese from a special and virtually unknown appellation bordering Chianti Classico that today produces wines of distinct regional identity.
