Tasting notes
The organic Petrolo 2023 Val d'Arno di Sopra Bòggina A does a terrific job of showcasing the punchy, cheerful side of Sangiovese without any sense of harshness or heaviness. Vinified in terracotta amphorae, the wine remains soft and fluid in texture, with elegantly polymerized tannins and a long, silky overall impression. Sourced from six hectares of vines planted on galestro and alberese soils, it also delivers refined mineral accents and spot-on acidity that keep the palate alive. Production totals 3,000 bottles, plus larger formats.

The 2023 Boggina A is compelling. Sweet pipe tobacco, cedar, mint, dried cherry, orange peel and dried rose petal give this deceptively mid-weight Sangiovese notable aromatic presence along with a palpable touch of exoticism. I especially admire the wine's dynamic energy and overall complexity,
