This property has become one of the most talked about Tuscan estates in recent years. Petrolo is situated in the area known as the Colli Aretini, bordering on the Chianti hills, a historical area delimited in 1716 by the Grand Duke of Tuscany Cosimo III de Medici as one of Tuscany's top four wine producing zones. The Petrolo estate was part of the old medieval fiefdom of Galatrona, the old tower (Torrione) of which still remains on top of Roman foundations. Today the property covers 272 hectares of which 31 are vineyards, situated between 250- 450 metres above sea level. There are 19 hectares of olive groves and the rest of the estate is arable land and woods.

Luca Sanjust runs the estate, having taken over from his mother, Lucia Bazzocchi. The vibrancy and intensity of the fruit that Luca is now getting in his wines has brought them well-deserved attention.
