What reviewers say
“Im Glas ein ganz tiefes dunkles Rot, das sich schon dem Schwarz annähert. In der Nase, die für die Toskana und die Trauben typischen roten Früchte, zugleich noch eine sehr deutliche und doch ganz weiche Tabaknote. Schon das Bukett hat etwas unwiderstehlich Samtiges.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Deep ruby colour with some hints of purple at the rim, almost black at the core. Full aromas of black currant, cherry and some fresh red currant with hints of leather and mint. Full bodied with lots of concentrated fruit, fresh acidity and chewy tannins. Long finish.
Petrolo Toscana Torrione is a red from Toscana, Italy. It sits in the $30–60 band, on a lowest observed 750 ml price of $30.99. It blends Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
946 other reds from Italy form the cohort it is ranked inside. 2,235 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 2,260 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Petrolo Toscana Torrione lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Italy (947 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 2,235.
