Petrolo

In 1834, then estate owner and agronomist Giorgio Perrin celebrated the quality of the soils and Sangiovese at Petrolo. The estate was acquired by the Bazzocchi family in the 1940s. The estate's historic vineyard was planted in 1947 by Gastone Bazzocchi, grandfather of the owners.

Located in the Val d'Arno di Sopra DOC on the southeastern borders of Chianti Classico, Petrolo has 35 hectares of vineyards at an altitude between 250 and 500 meters above sea level. Soil consists of rocky layers of galestro, sandstone, and Chianti alberese, with an average density of 5,500 vines per hectare. Yields are around 20 to 25 hl per hectare, totaling between 700 and 800 hl of wine. The Ospedale vineyard was planted in 2015 to Sangiovese trained using the traditional Tuscan arched cane (capovolto toscano) system. Its wines include Torrione.
