Description

A very dear wine to Petrolo, wanted by Lucia Bazzocchi Sanjust in 1988 and made at the time with the help of former wine consultant Giulio Gambelli, Torrione marks the beginning of the winery’s new approach to winemaking: aiming to produce wines of the highest quality. Torrione is the true identity of Petrolo, blending the grapes of all the vineyards of Petrolo: not only Sangiovese from Bòggina but also other “historical” vineyards of Sangiovese, Merlot from Galatrona and Cabernet Sauvignon from Campo Lusso. This wine keeps an eye to the secular Tuscan tradition of adding French varietals to Sangiovese.

Wine production in oil has very ancient origins, as evidenced by the house and the basement are part of the ancient medieval fiefdom Galatrona, of which there is still a tower soaring over the hills planted with vines, hence the name of the wine of the same name. The company is located in the Chianti area already demarcated as an area of great value wine from the Grand Duke of Tuscany in 1716 and known as the Val d'Arno di Sopra. Oil was purchased by Bazzocchi family in the '40s, and the second half of the '80s, the current owner, Bazzocchi Sanjust Lucia, and his son Luke have taken a turn Sanjust production based solely on criteria of research of extreme quality.
