Petrolo Torrione 2010 Valdarno di Sopra Tuscany 750ml/Btl 12/case

Description

Monica Larner: The 2010 Torrione is exception and a very reasonable
value. It opens with elegant richness and soft tones of black
cherry, licorice, spice and dark leather. The style is opulent and
confident for this mostly Sangiovese-based wine. Anticipated
maturity: 2014-2024.
Luca Sanjust has embarked on a whole slew of new projects at his
beautiful estate located in the southeast part of Chianti, near the
Chianti Classico boarder. His first priority is returning to a
cru-specific philosophy. He sees his top wine, for example, less as
an expression of Merlot than an expression of the Galatrona
single-vineyard. The Boggina site is planted to Sangiovese, and
Luca explains that this spectacular vineyard has existed since the
1700s. He has two new wines from this site (one aged in amphora and
one aged in barrel) that symbolize two voices from a single site.
