2015 Boggina A Sangiovese Val d´Arno di Sopra Petrolo

Very perfumed aromas of plum, dried berry, cedar, and flower. Full body, with velvety tannins and a juicy finish. Love the texture and richness to this wine. Fascinating smoky undertone. Amphora gives it a life and energy of its own. No wood. Drink or hold.

The 2015 Boggina A (100% Sangiovese) offers more cherry, dried herbs, sandalwood and floral notes as well as a medium-bodied, seamless style on the palate. Coming from the original vineyard of the estate planted in 1958 and brought up all in amphora, it has light, fine tannin and should keep for 7-8 years.

Sporting a slight name change, the 2015 Val d'Arno di Sopra Bòggina A is amphorae-aged Sangiovese. Previously, this wine was named BògginAnfora. The Petrolo winemaking team follows the same procedure in which grapes are sourced from a single vineyard that was planted in 1952. The wine remains in contact with the skins for a long six-month period inside traditional clay vessels. The wine opens to a lean garnet-dark ruby color. The bouquet is fragrant and bright with wild berry and cassis. The mouthfeel is lean and tight. Only 1,778 750-milliliter bottles were made as well as 50 magnums. 2017 - 2027.
