"The 2018 vintage received on its label a special loving heart, not only to celebrate this special occasion but also because 2018 is one of the nicest and endearing versions ever made. The new graphic was made with the contribution of Sabina Mirri, an internationally acclaimed artist." ~Petrolo
Petrolo has a remarkable track record of producing some of the finest examples of very different native and non-native varieties in Tuscany. The Torrione is a true "estate" wine that's a blend of all of the estate's vineyards. The 2018 Torrione tastes like dark fruits and oyster shells complemented with hints of tobacco and spice. The one word Antionio Galloni used to describe the wine: Delicious.
