Bòggina C Sangiovese 2015
Ok so I was a bit confused about the C here. Here's the score:
A=Anfora, B =Bianca, C=Classico.
So this is the Classico, Petrolo's top Sangiovese. It was extremely elegant with great vibrancy. Cherry and floral flavors about. Very pretty indeed. — 7 years ago

Torrione Val D'Arno di Sopra Red Blend 2018
Tonight I am enjoying the 2018 Torrione Petrolo Val D'Arno Di Sopra Petraviva Rosso. Super Tuscan from Bucine, Italy. A blend of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
On the nose we have blackberry, cherry, black olive, anise, dried roses, cedar, tobacco, leather and earth.
On rhe palate is red cherry, raspberry, blackberry, red currant, cassis, wild herbs, spice, pencil shavings and earth.
This wine is full bodied supple and very delicious medium + to high acidity and medium + to high firm sandy mouthcoating tannins that leave you with a long red and black fruit herbaceous finish. A new week again is upon us with many new and exciting challenges. Lets meet these challenges head on and make it a fruitful experience. Please stay safe and healthy and enjoy the week.

Barone Ricasoli
Casalferro Castello di Brolio Merlot 2010
Eyes: Light + to Medium bodied. Ruby / purple core trailing slightly to the edge of the glass.
Bouquet: Plum, violet with hints of cooked meat, spice, hard raspberry candy and clay.
Palate: Medium bodied with a round, elegant mouth feel. Notes of plum, cherry and flowers are carried by medium acidity and polished tannins. Despite carrying 14.5% ABV, there is absolutely nothing out of place here with the entire drinking experience being harmonious and pure. The length on the finish sails for minutes.
Conclusion: Add this wine to the great Tuscan Merlots like those from Tua Rita, Petrolo and Ornellaia at a savings of at least 30% per bottle. Superb now, this will reward 7 to 10 years of cellar time if you can wait. — 11 years ago
"Odedi"
It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish/brick rim.
Beautiful nose of black currants, cooked plums, light cedar, black tea, Mediterranean spices, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs, light earth, cola and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cherries, oak, spices, chocolates, coffee, black pepper and black tea.
Medium minus on the finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very tasty Merlot from Tuscany. Rich, extracted and still showing lots of fruit notes.
This 10 year old Merlot needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but drinking nicely now. Complex and nicely balanced.
The nose is just gorgeous, but the palate doesn’t quite match its complexity.
Needed 2 hours in the decanter to open up and show the beautiful nose.
Robert Parker 96 points. Wine Spectator 95 points.
This Super Tuscan is a little disappointing, as it received great reviews, but I had it blind, so it is what it is.
Good as a sipping wine and better with food.
100% Merlot grapes were aged in (33% new) French Oak barrels for 18 months.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
