PETROLO

FATTORIA PETROLO is placed in the “Colli Aretini”, a historical area bordering the Chianti hills, delimited in 1716 by the Grand Duke of Tuscany Cosimo III de’ Medici as a particularly valuable land for wine and olive oil. Petrolo was part of the old medieval fiefdom of “Galatrona”, place of extreme natural beauty and archaeological and historical importance.
Petrolo covers 272 hectares, including 31 ha of specialized vineyards, 18 ha of olive groves and the remaining area of woods and arable land.
The winery was bought by the Bazzocchi family in the 40s and since the end of the 80s the current owner Lucia Bazzocchi Sanjust joined by her son Luca Sanjust, has changed the production aims and methods to concentrate exclusively on results of the highest quality.

GALATRONA

Galatrona is a pure expression of Merlot and is one of the best interpretations of the wine made anywhere on earth.

This wine is certainly the most famous wine of the estate of Petrolo, a wine that over ten years confirms the Three glasses of Gambero Rosso and many other awards around the world.

Galatrona is the name of a beautiful tower overlooking the Valdarno and Chianti Aretino, an area where there are the vineyards of Petrolo.
