Tasting notes
This is Sangiovese that has been fermented and aged in amphorae made with clay from Impruneta, Tuscany. It sees eight months of skin contact. The Petrolo 2021 Val d'Arno di Sopra Bòggina A was born in what vintner Luca Sanjust describes as a difficult year for farming but one that ultimately gave great results. The wine shows an especially tight and firm character that becomes almost Burgundian with time, with floral notes and blood orange. Sulfites are reduced to a minimum in order to give the lift and punchiness that works so well. This wine is all primary now with a crunchy quality of fruit. Give it time to age. Only 3,000 bottles were made.

The 2021 Boggina A, 100% Sangiovese in amphora, is brilliant. Medium in body and wonderfully translucent, the 2021 captures all the magic of the year in its finely cut, chiseled personality. Once again, Luca Sanjust and his team have turned out a stunning, vivid Sangiovese that is a far cry from earlier vintages, when this wine was often much less pure. (AG)
Very perfumed with aromas of cherries, terra-cotta and cedar. Crystal clear. Medium-bodied with very integrated tannins and a fresh finish. It's polished and bright. Made in amphora. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold.
