Tenuta di Petrolo

In the foothills of the Chianti mountains, overlooking Tuscany’s Arno River valley, Tenuta di Petrolo includes a noted winery, a medieval tower, a 13th-century church and an 18th-century villa.

Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate, August 2009) stated, "Proprietor Luca Sanjust and his team craft some of the most beautiful wines in Tuscany at the equally picturesque Petrolo estate." The estate is focused on producing wines of the highest quality and that focus is reflected in its personnel as well as vitivinicultural practices.

Galatrona, the estate's 100% Merlot offering, was first brought to market in 1994 as a Tuscan IGT wine and has retained that classification ever since. 

Annual Merlot production is 13,500 bottles.
