Petrolo

Proprietor Luca Sanjust and his team make some of the most sensual, pleasurable wines in Tuscany. Always intellectually curious, Sanjust continues to push the envelope. ANTONIO GALLONI

Petrolo is a cult producer in Tuscany and abroad and it has been some process to get some for Australia. The owner Dr Luca Sanjust is a great thinker about wine and his property is one of the most remarkable in Tuscany; featuring one of the only remaining Roman towers (the Galatrona) in Tuscany. His grandfather bought the 950-acre property by selling a flat in Rome after the war!

The winemaker is Carlo Ferrini; one of the true greats of Tuscan winemaking and makes wines which exhibit plush styling as well as a dark fruited and a balanced persona with a real sensual core. PWS
