WINE DESCRIPTION
Fattoria di Petroio is a family-run estate in the heart of Chianti Classico, embodying quality and tradition. With origins tracing back to the 12th century, it offers an authentic Tuscan wine experience. The six hectares of vineyards focus on Chianti Classico DOCG, growing Sangiovese, Colorino, and Malvasia Nera on clay and marl soils. Since its acquisition by the Robiglio family in 1958, the estate has flourished under careful stewardship. Today, led by Diana Lenzi, Petroio combines historical heritage with sustainable, handcrafted winemaking. Each grape is hand-harvested and vinified on-site, ensuring the highest quality wines that truly reflect the terroir.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Fattoria di Petroio Poggio al Mandorlo is a vibrant expression of 100% Sangiovese from young vines.Its lively character shines through with bright red fruit flavors—think ripe cherries and red currants—complemented by a subtle hint of cranberry. The wine’s refreshing acidity and light-bodied structure create a sense of elegance, while the gentle mineral undertones add depth. With no oak influence, the purity of the fruit is front and center, making this stainless steel-aged Sangiovese an approachable and enjoyable wine, ideal for pairing with simple pasta dishes, grilled chicken, or a classic margherita pizza.
