The 2013 Val d'Arno di Sopra Bòggina opens to dark concentration and thick textural richness. The wine is fermented on the skins for one week in cement vats and goes into various sized oak barrels after fermentation for up to 18 months. The bouquet offers genuine, earthy aromas with dark fruit, plum, dried flower and spice. You only get distant hints of the oak as the wine boasts very smooth integration overall. Soft tannins give the wine a lasting sense of structure and foundation.<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.
