2021, Petrolo 'Boggina C', VAL D'ARNO DI SOPRA, ITALY

Closed with a red wax capsule with beautiful artwork on the front label, the organic Petrolo 2021 Val d'Arno di Sopra Riserva Bòggina C is quite dense and rich, especially for a youthful Sangiovese such as this. The wine reveals a medium-dark appearance with dried cherry fruit, blackcurrant and baked plum. The wine is considerably lighter in terms of mouthfeel, with powdery tannins and mid-weight texture that adds to its overall elegance. The wine delivers authenticity and personality. This is a 6,400-bottle release. 95 Monica Larner, Wine Advocate (2024).
