Petrolo 2001 Torrione Sangiovese (Toscana)
- $47
After stumbling in 2000, Petrolo is back on target with this wine. The nose immediately strikes as harmonious, with gentle earth and spice notes supporting solid berry aromas. The palate is ripe and smooth, with a fine structure that features proper acids and integrated tannins.

Petrolo 2003 Galatrona Red (Toscana)
- $84
A slight opening on the nose houses flowery red fruit; it’s decidedly not a dark, heavy wine. But it does show some oak. The palate is hard-driving, with firm tannins supporting zesty, almost racy fruit. Nothing manipulated here; just ripe, ready rosso.

Petrolo 2003 Torrione Sangiovese (Toscana)
- $36
Nice and smoky, with a solid, healthy nose that covers the bases. Good and snappy on the tongue, where zest and sweetness convene and deliver cherry, vanilla and chocolate flavors. Medium in terms of intensity and depth. Best now–2008.

Petrolo 1999 Terre di Galatrona Sangiovese (Toscana)
- $16
Bold and earthy in the nose, but also maybe a tad murky. The flavor profile is forward, mostly just grapes and licorice, and while the palate is precise and on the sharper side, the finish is lighter; it just fades away without saying much. —M.S.

Petrolo 2000 Torrione Sangiovese (Toscana)
- $47
Weak berry aromas and candied fruit along with whacked-out acids and too much body weight. Finishes sweet and leaves a cloying tail.
