Description
Red Wine by Petrolo from Tuscany, Italy. Petrolo’s chateau, wine made from the different grapes varietals on the estate. The grapes proportion is the same as the one in the vineyards. A perfect example of a balanced, sharp and deep red – a wine that expresses the real identity of the area. Torrione is made primarily from Sangiovese grapes, both those that come from historic vines of the 70s and ones more recently planted with high density. The yield per plant is notably restricted (max 2.5 lbs per vine plant), allowing a concentration of all the noble components of the grape, fundamental for the full-bodied character of this wine. The maceration on the skins lasts for 14 days. Afterwards, the malolactic fermentation takes place, partly in French barrels of 225 liters, partly in 40 Hl oak barrels, and partly in cement vats. The wine then is aged in French oak barriques, one third new, for approximately 15 months. Blend: 80% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon
