92/100 WS

Tasting Notes


Light to medium-deep ruby red with bright garnet hues.

On the Nose an ethereal, highly delicate, and precise fragrance profile of 100% Sangiovese. Features vibrant wild cherries, redcurrants, and pomegranate, coupled with high-toned floral aromatics, dried herbs, and a distinct terracotta minerality.

On the Palate medium-bodied with a focused, elegant structure. Electric, tart natural acidity leads into a classic Sangiovese fruit core underpinned by a signature "salty vein" (saline minerality) from the amphora contact. Silky, fine-grained, weightless tannins with a long, fresh, highly drinkable finish that emphasizes pure varietal expression without any wood masking.

Serving: Best served at 60 – 64 °F (16 – 18 °C), slightly cooler than standard oak-aged reds to highlight its fruit purity and crisp acidity. Decant for 30 to 45 minutes before serving. Amphora-aged natural wines often need a brief breath to let initial reductive or earthy clay notes dissipate.

Food Pairing: The amphora aging yields high acidity, fine tannins, and a clean, mineral profile, making it best suited for rich, savory dishes that benefit from a fresh, palate-cleansing contrast:

Classic Tuscan Meats: Bistecca alla Fiorentina (Florentine T-bone steak), grilled lamb chops with fresh rosemary, or roasted pork.

Rich Pasta & Game: Pappardelle served with wild boar ragù (ragù di cinghiale) or braised ox cheeks.

Cheeses: Aged Tuscan Pecorino, Parmigiano-Reggiano, or sharp semi-hard cheeses.

Petrolo Val d’Arno di Sopra Bòggina A 2020 is an organic, 100% Sangiovese from Tenuta di Petrolo in eastern Tuscany, fermented and aged in terracotta amphorae. The grapes are hand-harvested in the second half of September from a parcel of the historic Bòggina vineyard, planted in 1952, and ferment spontaneously with native yeasts and manual cap plunging. The wine stays on its skins for about 8 months, then returns to the amphorae for 5 more months before bottling. The “A” stands for Anfora (amphora). In the glass it is light to medium-deep ruby with bright garnet hues, with wild cherry, redcurrant and pomegranate, floral notes, dried herbs and a distinct terracotta minerality. The palate is medium-bodied and focused, with vibrant natural acidity, silky, fine-grained tannins and a signature salty, mineral vein, ending in a long, fresh finish with no wood to mask the fruit.

Why buy it: This is a 92-point Wine Spectator Sangiovese made in very small quantities, just 1,296 bottles and 20 magnums. Terracotta breathes much like a barrel but adds no oak flavors, so the wine shows pure Sangiovese fruit and saline minerality. The estate has been EU-certified organic since 2016. We deliver across Florida, with free shipping on 6+ bottles.

When to open it: Open it for an Italian-style dinner, a special occasion or a gift for a Sangiovese lover. Serve it slightly cooler than most reds, at 60°F to 64°F (16°C to 18°C), and decant for 30 to 45 minutes so the early clay notes can fade. It pairs well with bistecca alla Fiorentina, grilled lamb chops with rosemary, roasted pork, pappardelle with wild boar ragù, braised ox cheeks and aged Pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano.
