Product Details

Code: PETRO003

Petrolo is a leading wine estate of Tuscany, Italy. It is located within the Chianti Colli Aretini zone. It is widely regarded as rivalling many Chianti Classico properties in terms of quality. The estate has 31 hectares (76 acres) of vineyards with rocky soils that are typical of the Chianti region. The favorable terroir is aided by the site's altitude of up to 450 meters (1500 feet) above sea level. The sunny exposure allows grapes to develop concentrated flavor compounds with good acidity.

Campo Lusso is a beautiful expression of this French grape from Tuscany. First produced in 2004, this wine sees fruit sourced from an isolated vineyard spot located just under the Galatrona tower. Farmers referred to this site as the 'campo lusso,' or luxury site, because of the ideal soil composition of rocky limestone. The full-bodied 2016 Campo Lusso is absolutely gorgeous. This is a dark and generous expression of Cabernet Sauvignon that is grounded and centered, but so intense all the while.

The bouquet is layered and rich with dark fruit, spice, leather, tar and chocolate. The tannins are velvety and impeccably integrated. This vintage takes this beautiful wine a giant step forward in terms of general quality and elegance, and this is due in part to the advancing age of the vines.
