Petrolo 2021 Boggina A, Valdarno di Sopra DOC

100% Sangiovese.
Ausbau: 6 Monate in Terracotta-Amphore.

Von dieser Rarität gibt es nur 3.000 Flaschen, die ungeschwefelt abgefüllt wurde!

Das "A" steht für "Amphora", also die traditionelle Ausbaumethode in der Tona-Amphore. Dadurch bekommt der Sangiovese ein feine, seidige Eleganz.

Feine Nase nach Sauerkirschen und Zedernholz. Am Gaumen sehr saftig und mit intensiven Aromen nach Erdbeeren, Waldbeeren und leicht zitrischen Einsprengseln. Kecke Säure, elegante Tannine. Ein Muss für Sangiovese-Enthusisten.

Suckling:
"Very perfumed with aromas of cherries, terra-cotta and cedar. Crystal clear. Medium-bodied with very integrated tannins and a fresh finish. It's polished and bright. Made in amphora. From organically grown grapes." 95 Punkte

Decanter:
"First produced in 2011, Boggina A is a refreshing take on Tuscan Sangiovese, vinified in 300 and 500l clay amphorae using indigenous yeasts. The wine then undergoes a prolonged maceration of eight months, sealed off from the air by the grape skins. Once this pomace is removed, the wine matures in the amphorae for a further five months. The 2021 is a revitalising wine, with incisive, tangy raspberry, strawberry and pomegranate flavours accompanied by a touch of spice and a lovely wild character. Tight and fresh with delightful sapidity, this deserves a place in any Sangiovese lover's collection!" 94 Punkte

Parker:
"This is Sangiovese that has been fermented and aged in amphorae made with clay from Impruneta, Tuscany. It sees eight months of skin contact. The Petrolo 2021 Val d'Arno di Sopra Bòggina A was born in what vintner Luca Sanjust describes as a difficult year for farming but one that ultimately gave great results. The wine shows an especially tight and firm character that becomes almost Burgundian with time, with floral notes and blood orange. Sulfites are reduced to a minimum in order to give the lift and punchiness that works so well. This wine is all primary now with a crunchy quality of fruit. Give it time to age. Only 3,000 bottles were made." 94+ Punkte

Falstaff:
"Leuchtendes, glänzendes Rubinrot. In der Nase nach zarter gezuckerten Waldfrucht, etwas rotbackener Apfel, helle Würze, zurückhaltend. Am Gaumen mit kernig-saftigem, leicht vegetalem Tannin, dazu sehr lebendige Säure, noch sehr jung, wirkt insgesamt etwas schmal." 93 Punkte
