Petrolo
Bòggina C 2022
Val d’Arno di Sopra
Boggina C (Classico Riserva) is a Sangiovese cru that embodies the foresight of Petrolo’s founder, Gastone Bazzocchi, who planted the vineyard in 1952. Over time, the vineyard has been carefully replanted to preserve the original clone diversity, and the wine showcases the remarkable expression of 100% Sangiovese, highlighting the estate’s exceptional terroir and microclimate. The result is a bright and gracious wine. Red berries mingle with orange peel and mint, and the palate is long and silky.
VINTAGE
The 2022 Tuscan growing season saw a dry winter, a warm spring, and an exceptionally hot summer with prolonged drought conditions. Concerns over fruit quality led viticulturists to employ irrigation and shading techniques. Fortunately, rains in late July and early August helped rehydrate berries, aligning harvest timing with historical averages. Cooler temperatures in late September preserved freshness, though wines generally show slightly above-average alcohol and pH. Overall, the wines from this vintage are rich and muscular.

Reviews
Wine Advocate - February 5, 2026 "The organic Petrolo 2022 Val d'Arno di Sopra Riserva Bòggina C is made from 100% Sangiovese fermented in cement and aged in tonneaux and botti for 18 months. Shaped by a warm vintage, the wine offers medium richness with lively notes of cherry and redcurrant that lean into crushed flower, tea leaf and dried spice. There is a touch more heft and structure at the back."
Vinous - June 26, 2025 "The 2022 Boggina C is a potent, brooding wine. Floral and earthy notes lead into a core of bright red Sangiovese fruit. Beams of tannin lend shape, while also suggesting a bit of cellaring will be essential. This structured Sangiovese has plenty to offer."

Bòggina B
Toscana IGT
Bòggina B is a little bit of Burgundy with a Tuscan twist. The wine is made with 100% Trebbiano Toscano. The clone of the Valdarno has been known for its quality since the 1300s, when it was regularly sent to the popes in Rome and the courts of Florence. Petrolo has been using Trebbiano grapes for its sweet vinsanto for decades, but owner Luca Sanjust decided that the time had come for a tribute to the great whites of Valdarno’s past. The wine is made under the guidance of one of Burgundy’s greats, Mounir Souma of Lucien Le Moine.
Torrione
Val d'Arno di Sopra
Torrione is made primarily from Sangiovese grapes, both those that come from historic vines of the 1970s and ones more recently planted with high density. The yield per plant is notably restricted, allowing a concentration of all the noble components of the grape, fundamental for the full-bodied character of this wine. The fruit intensity and its black character make it a comparison to Brunello at several times the price.
Bòggina A
Val d'Arno di Sopra
Every year, Petrolo selects a small lot of Bòggina, a wine made purely from their best Sangiovese grapes, to ferment in amphorae. The choice of amphorae has a historical dimension to get closer to Tuscany's cultural roots, as Terracotta in Tuscany has a history back to the early Etruscan times. The remains of amphorae and other Etruscan relics can be found throughout the Petrolo property, an area that has been settled for thousands of years.
Galatrona
Val d'Arno di Sopra
Galatrona is a cru made entirely from Merlot grapes coming exclusively from a single vineyard planted in the early ‘90s. Year after year, it is recognized critically (the “Le Pin of Tuscany” by Wine Spectator, for example) but, more importantly, understood as being a reflection of its site far more than its grape varietal.
