Since the exceptional 2019 harvest, Luca Sanjust has taken another step towards "quality without compromise" with his Boggina C. The yields per plant have been reduced even further and the selection of grapes from the identified parcel has been made even stricter. This led to a reduction in the number of bottles available to around 3,000. The same meticulousness was also applied in the cellar by selecting the most suitable 7 hectolitre barrels for ageing "sur lie". Great attention was paid to their wood grain and toasting in order to achieve the harmony and flavour that a pure Grand Cru Sangiovese should have.

Bòggina C Riserva brings out the fragrance, brightness and depth of expression of Sangiovese from the Bòggina vineyard in a unique way. This version underlines the inimitable and unmistakable character of this wine, which comes from the heart of the Chianti mountains overlooking the Val d'Arno di Sopra, from where it derives the unmistakable magic of its aromas, colours and brilliance. A wine that not only warms Luca's heart, but also shows the great path that the winery has been following for years. Boggina C is the archetype of a taut and wonderfully precise Sangiovese with impressive depth. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich, dark ruby colour with a slight violet tinge. Very clear and memorable nose, intense aromas of violets, plums and blood oranges, some smoky, earthy notes in the background. Polished and finely meshed on the palate, with plenty of juicy fruit, rich cherry and raspberry flavours and a very long finish." Falstaff

"The 2021 Boggina C is a potent, brooding wine. Black cherry, plum, spice, new leather, mocha and dried herbs bring out the darker side of Sangiovese. I would give this a year or two to soften, as the tannins are pretty imposing today." Vinous

"Saturated with flavours of cherries, raspberries, roses, iron and wild herbs, this red wine is expressive yet well-structured. The lively acidity accompanies it through to the long aftertaste, in which refined tannins linger on the finish, which has a peppery quality." Wine Spectator

"A wonderful Sangiovese with aromas and flavours of orange peel, cherries, cherry blossom and sandalwood. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins that extend over the entire length of the wine. Fresh and lively with a solid fruit centre on the finish. Stylish is the right word. From organically grown grapes." James Suckling

"The Petrolo 2021 Val d'Arno di Sopra Riserva Bòggina C from organic farming with the beautiful artwork on the label is quite dense and rich, especially for a young Sangiovese like this. The wine shows a medium-dark appearance with dried cherries, blackcurrants and baked plums. In the mouth, the wine is noticeably lighter, with powdery tannins and a medium-weight texture that adds to its overall elegance. The wine is authentic and has personality." Wine Advocate
