A gorgeous sangiovese with orange peel, cherry, cherry blossom and sandalwood aromas and flavors. Medium body with very fine tannins that run the length of the wine. Fresh and vivid with a solid core of fruit at the end. Classy is the word. From organically grown grapes. Better after 2027.

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.- ML

Saturated with cherry, raspberry, rose, iron and wild herb flavors, this red is expressive yet well-structured. Vibrant acidity guides it all to the long aftertaste, where refined tannins resonate on the finish, which shows a peppery quality. Sangiovese. Best from 2026 through 2042. 543 cases made, 50 cases imported.
