A wine cherished by Petrolo, wanted by Lucia Bazzocchi Sanjust in 1988 and made at the time with the help of former wine consultant Giulio Gambelli. Torrione marks the beginning of the winery’s new approach to winemaking aiming to produce wines of the highest quality.
Torrione is the “chateau” of Petrolo, a blend of the grapes of all the vineyards of Petrolo: not only Sangiovese from Bòggina but also from other historical vineyards of Petrolo, including Merlot from Galatrona and Cabernet Sauvignon from Campo Lusso. A perfect example of a balanced, clear and deep red. A wine that tells, better than any other, the true identity of our territory.
Tasting Notes and Pairing: A rich and expressive wine, it opens on the nose with black, ripe fruit, dark spices, tobacco and cocoa.
Dense and round texture in the mouth.
Perfect to pair with game dishes and spicy cheeses.
Suggested serving temperature: 16-18 °C
Open some time before drinking.
in the vineyard:
Since 2004 we have been abandoning traditional farming methods practising natural and sustainable solutions: dry farming and no fertilization, no tillage, total grassing with mulch management, no use of synthetic pesticides. In 2016 the winery obtained official Organic Certification (Petrolo olive oil is organic since the 90’s). To achieve natural balance in the vineyard, plant management is carried out by hand with targeted intervention. Heavier pruning and grape thinning is almost absent in the mature vineyards already balanced. Today extraordinary growth management is only needed in the more challenging years.
Production method and aging: Natural vinification with native yeasts in glazed concrete vats. Soft and frequent manual pumping over. Long macerations.
Spontaneous malo-lactic fermentation in wood. Maturation in concrete tanks, French oak 40Hl barrels, tonneaux and barriques for 15/18 months.
