Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2015 Val d’Arno di Sopra Bòggina C sees fruit sourced from a single vineyard site with 65-year-old Sangiovese vines. The wine offers a light and streamlined expression of the grape that underlines its natural fruit qualities and acidic freshness. The wine is lean and stripped down with wild berry, raspberry, white almond and grilled herb. The mouthfeel is prime, pristine and absolutely silky.

• Wine Spectator: A bright, cherry-flavored red, with accents of leafy tobacco and earth adding counterpoint. Firm and pleasantly astringent, echoing cherry, earth and tobacco notes. Shows fine intensity and freshness. Aged in large cask. Sangiovese. Best from 2019 through 2028. 25 cases imported.

Producer Information

Petrolo is the definition of a cult winery, with an owner and a story that have helped create its legendary status. While the estate’s benchmark wine, the Merlot cru Galatrona, deservedly receives fireworks in the press and is part of the history of Tuscany’s quality revolution in the late 1980s and 1990s, the winery’s two other standouts, Torrione and Boggina, are an equally thrilling success – Sangiovese from a special and virtually unknown appellation bordering Chianti Classico that today produces wines of distinct regional identity.
