Torrione Petrolo 2019

Petrolo is a historic estate close to the Tuscan Chianti, in the DOC of the Val d'Arno di Sopra, just south-east of the Chianti Mountains. The land is partly affected by the geology of the Arno valley with more typical outcrops of the Chianti area. The company can boast everything it needs, it produces wine, oil and partly honey. Under the organic regime certified since the 1990s, and from 2016 also in the vineyards, it uses natural and sustainable agronomic practices, with targeted interventions reduced to the minimum. The cellar, apart from some recent additions, has remained the same historical, with the use of cement tanks and a splendid barrel room. The vineyards are scattered around the estate and surrounded by the forest, which abounds here and gives balance even in the most complex years to manage. Don't miss the Galatrona tower that dominates the mountains and offers breathtaking views of the estate, and the great hospitality that makes Petrolo an inevitable destination for visits to Tuscany.
