Once residence of the Counts Guidi and later of the noble Alessandri family, the Petriolo estate bears witness to this great past as itis still possible to see traces of the ancient residence of Messer Alessandro, which is mentioned in various documents dating backfrom 1574.

Over four centuries, the Alessandrifamily transformed Petriolo into a beautifulproperty, rich in villas, gardens, vegetable patches,woods and brick factories such as the one belongingto the Golpaja farm, the place which today givesthe name to our most prestigious wine.

In subsequent centuries the history of Petriolo

developed in two ways, as a production centre and as the owners place of leisure, up to this day and age.

The Petriolo estate, surrounded by theTuscan hills, is only 40 km away fromFlorence. It is formed by a group offarmhouses gathered around the ancientvilla. Villa Petriolo offers a blend of history,winemaking and wonderful views, because itis located in a region which unites landscape

beauty to a very ancient cultural tradition.

Its closeness to cities and towns likeFlorence, Pisa, Vinci and Lucca makes of VillaPetriolo an ideal point of departure for thosewho want to alternate pleasant trips to thequietness of the winery. For those who likeadventure, we suggest the trekking paths

which lead to the winery.

The production

The production area covers a surface of 160hectars (390 acres), composed of vineyards, olivegroves, orchards, woods and a huge huntingreserve. It is an enchanting environment, rich inhistory and charm, typically Tuscan, in whichmodern production structures, nowindispensable to grant qualitative standards, areperfectly integrated. Example of the innovation

in the tradition are the thermo-conditionedcement vats of the cellar. Today Villa Petriolo isa modern farming business capable of producingproducts of excellent quality.

The vineyards

Villa Petriolo is primarily a wine-making

company, with vineyards located at an altitudeof between 150 and 200 metres (330-440 feet),with a stony soil of medium texture. The grapevarieties that are cultivated here are Sangiovese,the most widely cultivated vine in Italy, a smallpercentage of Colorino, Canaiolo nero andMerlot for the production of red wines, MalvasiaBianca, Trebbiano Toscano and San Colombanofor the production of Vin Santo del Chianti.

The training systems used are spurred cordon,guyot and Tuscan arched-cane. The grapeharvest is made by hand in the second half ofSeptember.


6/28

The wines and the olive oil

Special care goes into the vinification and theageing of wines.

The precious white grapes for the famous VinSanto del Chianti are hand picked and placed inthe vinsantaia where the drying process startsand which can last up to January/February of the

following year. The wine obtained from a softpressing is left to age in small oak and chestnutwood casks where it matures for five years. ThenVinsanto waits in the bottle for other six months.

The vinification ofChianti D.O.C.G. consists in afifteen days period of maceration with the skins

in thermo-conditioned cement vats at atemperature of 28-32 C (88F). Then the winematures for three months in the bottle.

The same procedure is used with the Golpaja, anI.G.T. wine with a great structure obtained mainly

from the selection of Sangiovese and Merlotgrapes. Here the days of maceration with the skinare 21 in order to extract most aromaticsubstances. Then the wine is racked-off directlyinto French oak barriques where it is left tomature for one year, while the fining takes placein the bottle for at least four months.


7/28

The IGT white wine Villa Petriolo is obtained from selected Trebbiano grapes whichferment at a temperature of 18C (54F). The conservation takes place in thermo-conditioned vats at 10C(30F), and the fining in bottle for two months.

A substantial part of the production of Villa Petriolo consists of an excellent extra-virgin olive oil IGP. The olive trees cultivated on the estate are mainly of the Leccino

and Frantoio variety. Olives are exclusively handpicked, then kept in a cool, well-ventilated place and pressed (within 24 hours) so as to maintain and optimise the qualityof the oil itself.

Good if tasted cool.At dusk the spirit of SeptemberA beautiful party took place at Villa Petriolo for the prizegiving ceremonyof the literary awards The days of wines and roses, in time of grapeharvesting, when its getting dark and the air smells of must and wine,

during which Limbrunire was the protagonist.

En mi cielo al crepusculo eres como una nubeY tu color y forma son como yo los quiero.Eres mia! Eres mia! Mujer de labios dulces,Y viven en tu vida mis infinitos suenos.La lampara de mi alma te sonrosa los pies,El agrio vino mio es mas dulce en tus labios:Oh segadora de mi cancion de atardecer,

Como te sienten mis suenos solitarios.Pablo Neruda

The alchemy of winePainting with wine and hands instead of colours and brushes

On the big table of the kitchen or outside under the patio pieces of chipboard of

different forms are placed . to be spotted with wine and hands! We use only thenatural pigments of wine, the tannins and the anthocyans of red wine and flavones of

white wine, which, penetrating the chipboard, after the evaporation of the alcoholic andwater part, give the ultimate colour. The colour, by drying out oxidizes and is fixed onthe cellulose.

You can painting whatever you like, with the grapes raised in Villa Petriolo!
