From Tuscany’s Val d’Arno di Sopra, in the hills east of the Chianti Classico region. This is very friendly and pure tasting. Nose has gorgeously pure, ripe Sangiovese scents of dark cherry, along with some gentle spice and minerally gravel scents. Focused and concentrated fruit in the mouth, forceful but soft and balanced. Not a great deal of complexity, but lots of flavor and purity. — 2 months ago

Ok so I was a bit confused about the C here. Here's the score:
A=Anfora, B =Bianca, C=Classico.
So this is the Classico, Petrolo's top Sangiovese. It was extremely elegant with great vibrancy. Cherry and floral flavors about. Very pretty indeed. — 6 years ago

Drinking the 2019 in 2024. Deep dark color. Very sweet bouquet with smoky notes. Big flavor with lots of oaks and dark ripe fruits. Lightly acidic finish. Very nice wine! — 3 months ago

Earthy at first, with some cranberry and floral notes developed after 30 minutes. Tomato paste on the palate. Pairs well with red sauce. — 7 years ago

Eyes: Light + to Medium bodied. Ruby / purple core trailing slightly to the edge of the glass.
Bouquet: Plum, violet with hints of cooked meat, spice, hard raspberry candy and clay.
Palate: Medium bodied with a round, elegant mouth feel. Notes of plum, cherry and flowers are carried by medium acidity and polished tannins. Despite carrying 14.5% ABV, there is absolutely nothing out of place here with the entire drinking experience being harmonious and pure. The length on the finish sails for minutes.
Conclusion: Add this wine to the great Tuscan Merlots like those from Tua Rita, Petrolo and Ornellaia at a savings of at least 30% per bottle. Superb now, this will reward 7 to 10 years of cellar time if you can wait. — 10 years ago

Pop and pour. Lovely. Like Nerello mascalese tinged sangio: smoky, seemingly volcanic, blood orange, tar, a touch of funk. On the palate: lovely acidity, elegant and lighter weight, darker on the back palate with soft chalky tannin. Yum. — 6 months ago

Tonight I am enjoying the 2018 Torrione Petrolo Val D'Arno Di Sopra Petraviva Rosso. Super Tuscan from Bucine, Italy. A blend of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.

On the nose we have blackberry, cherry, black olive, anise, dried roses, cedar, tobacco, leather and earth.

On rhe palate is red cherry, raspberry, blackberry, red currant, cassis, wild herbs, spice, pencil shavings and earth.

This wine is full bodied supple and very delicious medium + to high acidity and medium + to high firm sandy mouthcoating tannins that leave you with a long red and black fruit herbaceous finish. A new week again is upon us with many new and exciting challenges. Lets meet these challenges head on and make it a fruitful experience. Please stay safe and healthy and enjoy the week. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 3 years ago
