James Suckling
Reviewed July 2023Inviting aromas of dark and blue fruits together with subtle notes of chocolate and spices with hints of blue flowers and crushed stones. Medium- to full-bodied, complex and structured, but ethereal and weightless at the same time. That’s where generosity meets delicacy. It’s fluid, dynamic and so drinkable now, yet better to give it a couple of years in the bottle.

The nose is like a cool, damp forest, with dark berries, fresh earth, but with a quiet rumbling of heat and savory undertones, and the palate maintains the balancing act between cool and warm, sweet and savory, buoyant but indulgent. Valdarno delivers at every price point, but this is a particularly stellar deal. (DC)

Wine Advocate
The Petrolo 2021 Torrione is a certified organic blend of 85% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon that is fermented in cement and aged in oak vessels of various dimensions. It shows dark fruit with bramble, tree bark, blue flower and sweet cherry. The wine offers mid-weight intensity with a long, silky mouthfeel. There is a point of bright acidity at the end, and even a hit of chili spice. With 50,000 bottles made, this wine is offered at a reasonably good price. (ML)

Vinous
The 2021 Torrione is one of the finest editions in recent memory. Bright acids drive through a core of red cherry/plum fruit, blood orange, new leather and spice. The purity of the flavors is striking. I especially admire the energy here. This is a rare Torrione I would cellar for at least a year or two.
