PETROLO BOGGINA C
Bòggina was born from a dream, the dream of Eng. Gastone Bazzocchi, grandfather of the current owners and founder of Petrolo in 1947, when he planted this Sangiovese vineyard between 1951 and 1952. Bòggina C is their “Grand-Cru” of Sangiovese and it is undoubtedly the best vineyard of Sangiovese of Petrolo, both for the extremely favorable pedoclimate conditions and for its intrinsic beauty.

“From old-vine (and organic) Sangiovese planted in 1952, the Petrolo 2018 Val d'Arno di Sopra Bòggina C is a gorgeous wine with thick flavors and dark saturation. Some 5,053 bottles and larger-format bottles were produced. This is a beautiful expression—polished, bright and intense. It offers pure fruit flavors of wild cherry, cassis, dried basil, crushed flower and candied orange skin. The wine is silky and mid-weight in texture, but it produces a very long and polished finish. This wine hits all the proverbial Sangiovese high notes.” Monica Larner, ROBERT PARKER WINE ADVOCATE.
