| Winery | Petra has vineyards in 4 locations: Suvereto, Riotorto, Piombino and Massa. Marittima. Every location has a particular terroir and micro-climate, but similar elements tie the vineyards together. The vineyards face the sea on hilly terrain with a distinctly calcareous character and are rich in ferrous materials. This reduces the vine's productivity, giving it an aptitude for ageing good |
