Proprietor Luca Sanjust and his team craft some of the most beautiful wines in Tuscany at the equally picturesque Petrolo estate. From top to bottom, this is a highly successful set of new releases. Readers who have an opportunity to visit the property should not leave without a few bottles of the estate’s delicious olive oil, which is just as outstanding as the wines.
