The Petrolo Estate was part of the old medieval fiefdom of “Galatrona”, the old tower of which still remains on top of Roman foundations as landmark of the winery. Petrolo was bought by the Bazzocchi family in the 40s. During the 80s Lucia Bazzocchi Sanjust, prominent figure in the Tuscan wine scene, realized the great potential of the soil on the hill of Petrolo and with the help of her son Luca, begun renovating the company’s production line aiming to obtain results of the highest quality. Luca Sanjust is now in charge of the company with the aim of nurturing the uniqueness of Petrolo’s great wines, promoting the newly remade Doc Val d’Arno di Sopra and sustain the role of the winegrower as guardian of the beauty and sustainable development of his land.
Petrolo is placed in Val d’ Arno di Sopra on the southeast side of the Chianti mountains bordering Chianti Classico. Val d’Arno di Sopra is a historical area recognized and delimited in 1716 by the Grand Duke of Tuscany Cosimo III de’ Medici as a particularly valuable land for wine and olive oil toghether with Chianti, Carmignano and Pomino (today Rufina). In 2011 the area was recognized the status of DOC Valdarno di Sopra.
