From Tuscany’s Val d’Arno di Sopra, in the hills east of the Chianti Classico region. This is very friendly and pure tasting. Nose has gorgeously pure, ripe Sangiovese scents of dark cherry, along with some gentle spice and minerally gravel scents. Focused and concentrated fruit in the mouth, forceful but soft and balanced. Not a great deal of complexity, but lots of flavor and purity. — a year ago

Tonight I am enjoying the 2018 Torrione Petrolo Val D'Arno Di Sopra Petraviva Rosso. Super Tuscan from Bucine, Italy. A blend of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.

On the nose we have blackberry, cherry, black olive, anise, dried roses, cedar, tobacco, leather and earth.

On rhe palate is red cherry, raspberry, blackberry, red currant, cassis, wild herbs, spice, pencil shavings and earth.

This wine is full bodied supple and very delicious medium + to high acidity and medium + to high firm sandy mouthcoating tannins that leave you with a long red and black fruit herbaceous finish. A new week again is upon us with many new and exciting challenges. Lets meet these challenges head on and make it a fruitful experience. Please stay safe and healthy and enjoy the week. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 4 years ago

So rich and complex. Amazing wine. Dark fruit, sangio acid, wild herbs, animale, Smokey, meaty, chocolaty. Will buy more immediately. Great value as well. Not far from the Canalicchio Di Sopra for a much better price. — 6 years ago

2024/7/20-21. Aromatically this starts out pretty brown - lots of toasted spice and earth. With air it does show flashes of the deep, smoky cherry one might expect, and it’s still very enjoyable, but I can’t help wonder if this bottle (which I bought on sale) might have been a little worse for wear. I usually love Graci’s wines, and something felt a bit off… — a year ago

Ora è maturo. Purtroppo non ha raggiunto un equilibrio perfetto. Tannino sopra le riga e freschezza non a livello. Profumo invece straordinario, emerge frutta e la spezie è in sottofondo, incenso, pepe. Bel naso. — 3 years ago

Pop and pour. Lovely. Like Nerello mascalese tinged sangio: smoky, seemingly volcanic, blood orange, tar, a touch of funk. On the palate: lovely acidity, elegant and lighter weight, darker on the back palate with soft chalky tannin. Yum. — a year ago

Solid.
Edit.
No other ratings so adding. Comps with some affordable Chianti Classico’s like Il Fauno.
Crisp tannins. Dry. Cran fruit.
Really good. Solid. — 2 years ago

Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe fruits and toasty notes. On the palate flavors of raspberry and cherry with floral and smoky notes. Lively acidity, medium+ finish, firm tannins, ending with fruit and spice. Has short term aging potential. Nice! — 3 years ago

Sesta Di Sopra Brunello Di Montalcino DOCG 2016: Medium-plus bodied. Well structured & balanced. Velvety tannins. Red & dark fruit dominate. Leather. Tobacco. Oak. Earth. Long smooth finish. For me, this was a beautiful classic Brunello that delivered in taste and expectations. You will definitely need time for it to show its true beauty however you won’t be disappointed. This is what a quality produced Brunello looks & tastes like. Great day to all! Cheers🍷 — 3 years ago

A more rounded cherry and plum nose. Soft merlot-like fruit. Great depth, complexity and subtlety with a pretty finish. This is excellent. — 8 years ago
