Fattoria Petrolo
Torrione Toscana Sangiovese Blend
Tuscany, Italy
Probably too young, tight city the first day but then opens up more on day 2. Decant if you can for several hours.

85% Sangio 15% Merlot. Lovely expression of Tuscan fruit - cherries with bright acid and elegant tannin.

Chocolate shavings, plum, boysenberry, vanilla and clove. Lifted and spiced aromatics. Smooth and soft, well integrated tannins, with rich blackberry pie flavors. Hints of tobacco and cherry too. Drink now - in a great place.

Aug 26th, 2018Day 2: plum, black pepper, leather saddle, roses with hints of forest floor and bark. Silky mouth feel with dark berry fruit. Creamy mid-palate. Dark cherries pop on a lingering finish which is well balanced with acid and softening tannin. Drink now with a couple hour decant.
