Situated amongst the hills, the ‘Azienda Agricola Fattoria
di Petrognano’ is a business comprising around
87 hectares, of which about 30 are specialised
vineyards.
The cellar of Petrognano Estate was created
according to the most up-to-date techniques without ever forgetting its tradition.
3,500 Hl. in stainless steel, of which 2,500 kept at constant temperature, and French oak barriques allow us to conduct the different stages of fermentation, stocking and refining, as rationally as possible.
A high quality wine that takes its name directly from the vineyard
that produces cabernet sauvignon grapes is “Montevago”, which
has been refined in French oak barriques since the harvest of 1999.
The most produced wine of the Petrognano Estate is a 'young’ type of
Chianti,
representing about 70% of our whole production.
Our Chianti Riserva (refined in French
oak barriques, racked two or three times) and a white wine made with Chardonnay and Trebbiano Toscano grapes complete our production.
Petrognano’s Novello has a different label every year drawn by one of the children
of the family.
Also renowned for its quality is our Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Protected
Geographical Indication) “Toscano delle Colline di Firenze”: made from
hand picked olives cold pressed by millstone.
Our latest addition is the ‘Residenza Agrituristica di Petrognano’, where together
with the genuine produce of the estate you can enjoy the delightful surroundings
of the vineyards, olive groves and rows of cypress trees making it possible to
re-discover the peace and tranquillity of a natural life-style. |
