Winemaker Notes
Torrione is made mainly from pure 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.
Professional Ratings

James Suckling
Aromas of lightly stewed fruit, with hints of fresh herbs and spices. Full bodied, with soft tannins and a fruity finish. This is balanced and long, with a caressing finish. Best ever. Mostly Sangiovese, with a hint of Merlot.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2009 Torrione impresses for its sensual inner perfume, silky tannins and gracious overall balance. Sweet red cherries, strawberry jam, crushed flowers, herbs and spices meld together in this tasty red. Torrione isn’t the great bargain it once was, but is still a great introduction to the wines of Petrolo.

Wine Spectator
Black currant, licorice, cedar and sandalwood flavors highlight this dense, sinewy red, which is firm and tannic, with a lingering aftertaste of spice.
