Torrione - 1999 - Petrolo
Petrolo is one of the leading wineries in Tuscany, Italy. It is located about a mile east of Chianti Classico within the Chianti Colli Aretini area. It is widely considered to rival many Chianti Classico properties in terms of quality, and is best known for its high-quality Sangiovese-based wines.
The estate has 31 hectares (76 acres) of vineyards with rocky soils typical of the Chianti region. The favorable terroir is helped by the site's altitude of up to 450 meters (1,500 feet) above sea level. Sun exposure allows the grapes to develop concentrated aromatic compounds with good acidity. In the winery, fermentations take place in glazed concrete vats using native yeasts. Most wines are aged in French barriques with some larger 4,000-liter wooden barrels also used. Petrolo was acquired by the Bazzocchi family in the 1940s who successfully created and developed the esteemed reputation the estate has today.
