This second bottle from auction was more energetic and had more fruit. VA seemed to be a little higher as well, though still well under my tolerance threshold.
Good, hearty Sangiovese that could've easily been mistaken as a good quality CCR. (1 view)

Stunning Brunello getting close to its peak. Still quite tannic. Love that but will keep my remaining bottles for a few years to follow the development. Have had som semi-stewed brunello from this vintage, but as always Salvioni is high class, dense and intense. (8 views)

Wonderful, aged berried and leather. Garnet colored core is still largely intact with slight brownish bricking on the rims. Many years left but no need to wait any longer unless you have a nice reason. We enjoyed every minute of this wine, in honor of Jim and Carol's wedding year and many toasts to Jim on this night.

Nez leger de fruits rouges… Bouche fruit croquant, beaucoup de tannin, un peu leger… (6 views)

What an outstanding Sangiovese this is. Juicy, fine quality, long aftertaste. Still pretty young of course, so the second glass was a bit more agreeable than the first (PnP). Not in the shadow of the great Galatronas (100% Merlot) of this fattoria, but so enjoyable.
A means matured in amphoras, B is white (bianco) and C means classico.

“Bòggina A” Sangiovese Val d’Arno di Sopra DOC 2020 (BIO)
Fattoria Petrolo | Tuscany
Petrolo s.a. s.s. | Loc. Petrolo 30 | IT 52021 Bucine

"Bòggina A" Sangiovese Val d'Arno di Sopra DOC 2020 (BIO)
The A in the name of the Boggina stands for the natural wine aged for about 6 months in terracotta amphorae of 400-600 Liters each, which is bottled in an edition of just 5,000 bottles without further addition of sulphites. Bright, luminous garnet red. The bouquet is ethereal, very delicate and nuanced, with a very precise fragrance interpretation of the Sangiovese grape. Medium-bodied, with a beautiful structure and authentic Sangiovese fruit with a salty vein. The finish is highly drinkable, with silky tannins and a beguiling length. A masterpiece of beauty and elegance. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pure red wine with aromas and flavours of cherry, strawberry, iron, earth and tobacco. Lean and supple in texture, with an elegant profile and a long finish that reflects the fruit and spicy notes." WINE SPECTATOR

"Bright, medium-dense ruby with a slightly pale rim. Very fragrant and appealing nose, of ripe raspberries, fresh plums, plus notes of cinnamon, some cardamom. Firm tannin on the palate, shows good tension, but at the same time seems a bit raw, salty on the final." FALSTAFF

"The Petrolo 2020 Val d'Arno di Sopra Bòggina A presents the Sangiovese grape with a fresh, concentrated, almost crisp personality. This organic wine opens with aromas of wild strawberries or fragolino, lilac, blood orange and rusty earth. It has an almost shiny or brilliant character. The Bòggina A shows plenty of primary freshness, fine tannins and balanced acidity." WINE ADVOCATE

"Very floral and pretty with aromas of orange peel and cherries that transition into a medium body with lots of tension and brightness. A dusty texture of tannins." JAMES SUCKLING

"The 2020 Boggina A, 100% Sangiovese vinified and aged in amphora, is possibly the best vintage of this wine I have ever tasted. Finely sculpted and nuanced, the 2020 sizzles with energy. Crushed rocks, red fruit, spice, mint, rose petal and orange peel are all beautifully delineated throughout. Just as important, the 2020 doesn't have any of the awkward aromas and flavors that have penalized some previous editions. Superb." VINOUS (17 views)

Purchased from my favorite Italian wine retailer, Z. They rarely step wrong. A little bricking on he edges, but no other real signs of age. Opened fully within 30 minutes. Medium weight for a Brunello, elegant cherry fruit, tar and white pepper, a hint of thyme. Balanced acidity. Some tannic bite leads o longish finish. Wish I had more. (33 views)

Intensely figgy fruits with lots of savoury interest (+ touch of methol). Still ethereal, like all San Polino Brunello. There is a beautiful rich sweetness that runs through the palate which is perfectly balanced with the sangiovese twang. The lift of acidity and tannin at the end keeps this refreshing in spite of its age and complexity. (15 views)

Left his one in the cellar far too long. Now just a tired old wine. (14 views)

Got a few more bottles from Italy. One of my favourite budget Chianti
Classicos. Has lovely lifted aromas of earthy leathery tomatoes, terracotta red and blue fruits with nice oak. Its medium bodied decently oaked terracotta infused red and blue fruits palate has great depth with impressive density, nice freshness and good length. 13.5%. Needs 3-4 hrs aeration. Drink now with Axoa de Veau or lay down 2-5 years. Superb value at under 20 Euros. (41 views)

Cherry, plummy, and perhaps tomato-y (?) fruit, with a dried fruit quality to it. Got some tobacco, mint and maybe dark chocolate out of it. Felt slightly less exciting on the palate, but really solid wine (148 views)

Surprisingly intense and complex aromas directly upon opening. Lovely mix of cherry, blackberry, leather, cedar, some underbrush, spices and a touch of roses. Balanced acidity and friendly tannins. Medium body. Unusually quaffable for a RdM. A hint of bitterness in the finish. A wine to drink young in my opinion. (24 views)

92 now may become 94-95 later. Give it 2 years as tannins are grippy, they loosen a bit after 1hr or two. (48 views)

Not the most complex, but tasty and in a really good spot. Opened for a tasting and didn’t drink much and ended up following (and enjoying) over a solid week. (19 views)
