Chianti Petriolo, the authentic and passionate taste of a memorable experience
Set on the hills of Rignano Valdarno, the Wine Farm Petriolo is surroundeded by a unique landscape: ancient villages and historic grapeyards draw the perfect frame within which the work creates stronger relationships with the land and roots.
The Petriolo Wine Farm has heard many stories, hosting numerous lives over the years. The Mozzi, Bardi, Pazzi, Serristori, Da Filicaia and Da Verrazzano families have lived here, as well as a whole Congregation, and even San Francesco di Sales was a guest.
A place where the grapevine means culture, tradition and respect.
This very respect for the natural heritage gave birth to the new wine cellar Petriolo, a modern structure which represents a perfect blend between technologigal innovation and the craftsmanship of Tuscany.
In its grapeyards set 300 meters above the sea, Petriolo take care of the protagonists of Tuscany: Sangiovese, Trebbiano, Canaiolo and Malvasia, the real soul of Chianti. The grapevines grow on a clayish and calcareous ground, with a solid skeleton, from which derives the unimistakable ruby red of the great Tuscan wines. The lands of Chianti host the traditional and vigorous Sangiovese and also internationale grapes, such as Merlot and Cabernet, essentials to obtain the most elegant harmony of flavours.
The knowledge and the skills of those who with passion take continuous care of the grapevines are essentials when harvesting the grapes.
These expert hands are able to choose the best grapes during the harvest. This is the moment when the grapeyards becomes lively and colorful, expressing the joy of having witnessed for centuries the growth of the best wines of this great land, Tuscany.

Rachael Smith is originally from Chesterfield in Derbyshire, but has lived in the small town of Figline Valdarno near Florence since 1998.
Her first wedding was her own in 2000, and she went on to plan weddings for friends who had fallen in love with the idea of getting married in Italy, and realised she had a flair for organising - and being organised!

More recently she has been collaborating with UK and Italy based wedding planners, as well as continuing to provide assistance to local venues and she works with a network of trusted suppliers. In 2012 she decided to set up Weddingsmiths.
