A single-vineyard Sangiovese from vines planted in the early 1950s, Bòggina C Riserva 2020 is Petrolo’s “Grand‑Cru” of Sangiovese, organically farmed, deeply rooted, and shaped by Val d’Arno’s unique microclimate and schist soils. In the glass, it feels vivid yet composed. The nose unfurls with cherry, plum, rose, orange peel and sandalwood, bearing Mediterranean scrub, wild herbs and a mineral grace. The palate is intense, finely structured by ultra-fine tannins, layered with dark chocolate, black pepper, cloves, cola and crushed stone, juicy yet refined, deeply harmonious, and long‑lingering. Critics concur, Wine Enthusiast calls it “positively acrobatic,” and James Suckling praises it as “perfumed and beautiful” with brightness and aromatic complexity. This is Tuscan elegance made bold, pair with slow-braised meats, aged cheeses, or simply uncork as the evening’s rich, conversation-sparking centrepiece.
