TORRIONE 2021 Val d'Arno di Sopra DOC BIO Petrolo

TORRIONE

Val d’Arno di Sopra DOC, Pietraviva

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.

Grape variety: 80% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon

Harvest: manual harvest in crates and grape selection with sorting table.
Torrione is made from the Sangiovese grapes coming from the winery’s historical vineyards of the 70’s and from more recent ones.

Vineyards were planted following meticulous zoning that enabled us to identify the most suitable root-stocks and the optimal plant density.

The yield per plant is very limited (max 1Kg per plant) allowing the concentration of all the noble components of the grape fundamental to the great structure, elegance and balance wanted for this wine.

Vinification: natural vinification with native yeasts in glazed concrete vats. Soft and frequent manual pumping overs.

Aging: spontaneous malo-lactic fermentation in wood.

Maturation in concrete tanks, French oak 40Hl barrels, tonneaux and barriques for 15/18 months.
