Reviews
The Wine Front – Gary Walsh Dec 2021
Torzi Matthews produce some of the best olive oil in the county, at least by my relatively uneducated standards. I’ve purchased no less than 8 bottles of it in the last month or two. Just saying. Also, their olive tapanade is second to none.
Spicy, dark cherry, hazelnut and subtle floral notes. It’s medium-bodied, savoury and nutty, grip and grain to tannin, a wholesome sort of wheaty feel here, and a smattering of orange peel and amaro herbs. Acidity is juicy and fresh, and the finish is tight, nutty and deliciously savoury, offering solid length. Tastes like a proper Sangiovese, and is raring to go with appropriate food.
An excellent release.
