This vintage shows a little more heat that comes off as tar, licorice and rose potpourri. The 2012 Val d'Arno di Sopra Bòggina is a ripe red wine with evident tones of strawberry and raspberry preserves. The soaring complexity you get in cooler vintages is delivered with measured intensity here. In 2011, Bòggina was an IGT Toscana wine, but starting with this vintage it is part of the Val d'Arno di Sopra DOC appellation. The mouthfeel is robust and thickly layered.<br/>
Producer
Fattoria Petrolo
Owned by the fourth generation of the Bazzocchi-Sanjust family, Tenuta Petrolo, located in the Colli Arentini sub-district of southeastern Chianti, focuses on producing wines of the highest quality. Along with expert help, enologist, Simone Cuccoli, and consulting enologist, Carlo Ferrini, the 31-hectare vineyard produces one of Tuscany’s finest 100% Merlots. The rich Galatrona Merlot can easily compete with the very best of Pomerol. As their flagship wine, Torrione expresses the spirit of the property in a compelling bottle of Sangiovese. Torrione is to Sangiovese, what Galatrona is to Merlot. They complete their wine roster with five other wines, some being unique single-vineyard wines, like Campolusso, and Boggina.
