Petrolo is in fact singular in a very visible way: you arrive at the entrance and you start climbing. And climbing. You go up the hills, and at the top of the estate is a tower dating to the 12th century, still in pristine condition, built to serve as a lookout point for thirty miles all around. In the morning, while fogs cover the valley floor, Petrolo is perched in the sky, an island in a sea of clouds. The altitude, the galestro soils, the lakes on the property that moderate the temperature, and the biodiversity of the estate ? only 76 of 672 acres are planted under vine ? all contribute to this special mesoclimate.

Tasting Notes
B?ggina is a Sangiovese cru and a testament to the winemaking foresight of Petrolo?s founder, Gastone Bazzocchi, who planted the vineyard in 1952 and saw the great quality potential of the vineyard early on. Over the years, the vineyard has been replanted little by little with a massale selection to preserve the diversity of the original clones. B?ggina showcases the great expression of a 100% Sangiovese that Petrolo?s unique terroir and microclimate are capable of producing.
