Tasting notes
Made with 100% organic Sangiovese, the Petrolo 2022 Val d'Arno di Sopra Bòggina A is a terrific red wine with a delightful level of crunchiness and energy. The wine represents a special single-vineyard section of fruit, and production does not top 5,000 bottles. The fermenting wine remains on the skins for an extended eight months in clay amphorae. Luca Sanjust tells me that his entire winery smells like fragrant wild strawberries during this time. Some of those fresh aromas are reflected in the bouquet of this pretty wine.

The 2022 Boggina, A 100% Sangiovese done in amphora, is a very pretty wine. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, spice and orange peel are nicely lifted. Late-season rains helped establish some balance, but this remains a decidedly floral, mid-weight Sangiovese. The balance here is terrific.
