Tasting Notes


Light to medium ruby red with luminous garnet reflections.

On the Nose intensely aromatic and floral, dominated by ripe wild strawberries, fresh red cherries, sweet violets, and peonies, underscored by orange peel, dried herbs, and a distinctive crushed-stone minerality.

On the Palate medium-bodied, fluid, and gossamer in texture. It features crunchy red fruit flavors, precise acidity, fine-grained tannins, and subtle spice notes. Finish is long, crisp, and savory, leaving lingering notes of graphite, licorice, and a salty, slate-like minerality.

Serving: Best served slightly cellar-cool at 60°F – 65°F (15°C – 18°C). Serving it too warm can emphasize the alcohol, while too cold will mute the delicate floral aromatics. Decant for 1 to 2 hours prior to serving, especially if drinking early, to help the clay-aged Sangiovese open up and stretch its finish.

Food Pairing: The classic acidity and earthy minerality of amphora-aged Sangiovese make it exceptionally versatile with traditional Tuscan dishes:

Classic Tuscan Dishes: Bistecca alla Fiorentina (grilled Tuscan T-bone), ragù over pappardelle, or wild boar stew.

Grilled & Roasted Meats: Roasted lamb, duck breast, or grilled pork chops served with rosemary and olive oil.

Earthy & Mushroom Flavors: Porcini mushroom risotto, truffle-infused pasta, or roasted root vegetables.

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

Petrolo Val d’Arno di Sopra Bòggina A 2022 is an organic, 100% Sangiovese from Tenuta di Petrolo in eastern Tuscany, fermented and aged in terracotta amphorae. The fruit comes from a parcel of the historic Bòggina vineyard, planted in 1952, on nutrient-poor soils of schist, marl, limestone and galestro. The estate has been EU-certified organic since 2016, with dry farming, native grass cover and hand harvesting. The wine ferments spontaneously with native yeasts in unlined 300-liter Impruneta terracotta amphorae, 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 ruby with garnet reflections, with wild strawberry, red cherry, violets, peonies, orange peel, dried herbs and crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied and silky, with crunchy red fruit, precise acidity and fine-grained tannins, and a long, savory finish of graphite, licorice and salty, slate-like minerality.

Why buy it: This is a 92-point Wine Spectator Sangiovese made in tiny quantities, just 3,633 bottles and 50 magnums. Terracotta breathes much like wood but adds no oak flavors, so the wine shows pure Sangiovese fruit and minerality. Wine Spectator notes it could use a little more time to come together, and its drinking window runs through 2033. We deliver across Florida, with free shipping on 6+ bottles.

When to open it: Open it for an Italian-style dinner, a holiday table or a gift for someone who loves Sangiovese. Serve it slightly cool at 60°F to 65°F (15°C to 18°C) and decant for 1 to 2 hours, especially if you drink it young. It pairs well with bistecca alla Fiorentina, ragù over pappardelle, wild boar stew, roast lamb, duck breast, grilled pork chops, porcini risotto, truffle pasta and aged Pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano.
