EnquiryAbout Petrolo
Petrolo is one of the most cult producers you can find in Italy much like Valentini or Miani, and the wines are hard to come by and utterly stunning! Nestled in a small, easternmost corner of the Chianti region, Petrolo’s lands and wine growing dates back to the early 1700s. The estate has always been dedicated to Sangiovese and became famous for its quality revolution in the 1980s and 1990s, especially when they planted a 100% Merlot vineyard,
Fontodi Flaccianello IGT 2018
DVNO usually shies away from mentioning critics’ scores of Italian wines because they’re often wrong, to put it bluntly, but the... near-universal near-perfect ratings of the 2018 Flaccianello show critics can get it right. The child of rollercoaster weather and terrific winemaking skills, this Flaccianello is a riveting wine with perfect balance, outstanding aromatics, and brocade-like texture. Pure wild berries and ripe cherries play against a backdrop of new leather, cigar smoke, iron ore, violet petals, and licorice in this jaw-dropping wine. Intense dry extract finds an elegant acidic lift, while velvety tannins add structure. This wine will stun for decades to come!
