The estate has 31 hectares (76 acres) of vineyards with rocky soils typical of the Chianti region. The favorable terroir is aided by the site's altitude of up to 450 meters (1500 feet) above sea level. Exposure to the sun allows the grapes to develop concentrated aromatic compounds with good acidity. In the cellar, fermentations take place in glazed concrete vats using native yeasts. Most of the wines are aged in French barriques with some larger 4000-liter wooden barrels also used. Petrolo was acquired by the Bazzocchi family in the 1940s who successfully created and developed the estate's esteemed reputation it has today.
