Petrolo Estate, Part of Old Medieval History
Petrolo Estate is a part of the old medieval history, located in in Val d’ Arno di Sopra on the south-east side of the Chianti mountains bordering Chianti Classico. An old tower of still remains on top of Roman foundations inside the property. The winery was purchased by the Bazzocchi family in the 1940s to start their wine business with traditional methods. Since the end of the 80s, the current owner Luca Sanjust has changed the production aims and methods to concentrate exclusively on results of the highest quality. From 2016, all Petrolo wines have official EU Organic Certification. Petrolo Estate has adopted sustainable farming since 2004 in their 31 hectares of vineyards.
