Petrolo TORRIONE Toscana 2020 750ml

93 Points Robert Parker | Luca Sanjust's Petrolo 2020 Torrione comes from a cool vineyard site surrounded by thick green forests. Made primarily with Sangiovese (and smaller parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot), the wine delivers beautiful fruit freshness with forest berry, cherry, blue flower and grilled herb. Production was down to about 35,000 bottles in this vintage (from about 60,000) because some of the Sangiovese was used in the Bòggina C single-vineyard wine instead. This is a highly accessible and enjoyable organic wine with a linear approach and a pretty dusty note on the tannins. This wine was first produced in 1988.

93 Points James Suckling | A very fine Torrione with cedar, berry and cherry character. Hints of nutmeg, too. Medium body. Creamy tannins. Beautiful. Drink or hold.

90 Points Wine Spectator | This lithe red starts out with currant and raspberry fruit, shifting to a firm, compact finish marked by earth and underbrush. The middle shows an open-knit, succulent texture, and this ends with light astringency. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2025 through 2037.

Torrione marks the beginning of the Petrolo’s quality revolution. It is considered to be the true identity of Petrolo, made with a blend of grapes from all of the estate’s vineyards. With a blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, Torrione is also in keeping with Tuscan tradition of adding Bordeaux varieties to Sangiovese and instilling a sense of place in the French varieties, lending them a distinctly Tuscan character.
