Score 91/100 · Drink 2017-2023, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, May 2017

The 2012 Torrione is a plush and beautiful wine although the vintage heat does leave its mark. There is a slightly amber hue and the rim and the fruit is mature with plum, dried cherry and blackberry preserves. The mouthfeel shows dusty mineral tones and silky tannins. The blend is mostly Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This vintage marks the 25th anniversary of the wine (1988-2012).

The 2012 Torrione is seriously beautiful. Dark red cherry, plum, spice and mocha notes flesh out in a supple, radiant wine endowed with gorgeous depth and pure resonance. All the elements meld together in this gracious, juicy Sangiovese-based red from Petrolo. Dollops of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon round out the blend.
