Fattoria Petrolo
Torrione Val D'Arno di Sopra Red Blend
This is a decent SuperTuscan blend, with nicely balanced acidity for pairing with a variety of meals. It is medium-bodied with a smooth tannic mouthfeel. We successfully paired it with savory seared beef tenderloin, shiitake mushrooms, green beans, and spicy ginger-lime aioli.

Nov 3rd, 2022Tonight 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! π·π·π·π·
