Petrolo Torrione
A relatively young estate by Tuscan standards (since 1834), Petrolo lies in the Colli Aretini, outside of the Chianti Classico region. Nonetheless, this little hilltop is every bit as good as the “classic” spots and, for its entire history, has nurtured not just Sangiovese but also Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, just as brands such as Sassicaia have done. Torrione is the blend of grapes from all the vineyards of Petrolo (80% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon) and since 1988 has been the standard bearer for this esteemed estate.
