Petrolo’s flagship wine and considered their cru wine from their Galatrona-Feriale vineyard site. This wine is 100% merlot. Interesting story how this wine came about. In 1994 Petrolo had forgotten to pick their merlot grapes so they decided to vinify the grapes separately unaware of what the quality may be. James Suckling, one of America’s top wine critics, was stopping by for a visit when he had to try it. His convictions in bottling it as a pure merlot led the wine to where it stands today as a highly acclaimed wine. Aged in new French oak for about 18 months with about 6 of those months on the lees. Left to age another 6 months in the bottle. A meaty merlot with good acidity and tannins to match. Beautiful fruit rich in plums, blueberries and blackberries with notes of spice. SRP $130 
Both the Boggina and Galatrona wines are Etruscan names with the Boggina name stemming from a family that lived in the area over 3,000 years ago. With vines planted back in 1952 from the original owner, Gastone Bazzocchi, this is the oldest vineyard site of the estate. Aged up to 18 months in 40 HL French oak and 27 Hl barrels. It spends the first 6 months on the lees and an additional 6 months in the bottle. A more complex, full-bodied wine with depth over the Boggina A. Floral aromatics with dried cherries. Firm tannins. SRP $75 
This wine is produced from 100% sangiovese. The wine is fermented and aged in amphora above ground for oxygenation. This and the previous wine, Petrolo Boggina Classico are harvested from the same block, but just used with different methods. Silky tannin and feminine in style with pure expression of classic sangiovese cherry notes.
