Fattoria Petrolo
Between the Chianti woods and the Arno Valley in Tuscany, the medieval Torre di Galatrona watches over Petrolo’s vineyards—and it is in that shadow that Fattoria Petrolo refined its modern identity. In the late 1980s Luca Sanjust steered the estate toward a quality-driven vision, launching Torrione in 1988 as a new benchmark.
Forty hectares in the Val d’Arno di Sopra DOC climb from 250 to 500 metres, on marl, sandstone and shale. Low yields—about 20–25 hl/ha—and site-by-site decisions keep the fruit taut and articulate; the historic Bòggina vines were first planted in 1947.
Fermentations rely on native yeasts in glazed concrete vats, with hand harvesting and careful selection. Ageing moves between concrete, large casks, tonneaux and barriques, shaping a style built on texture, line and terroir rather than volume.Fattoria Petrolo
