Wine Enthusiast: 96 Points

Sanguine, earthy and alive on the nose, with the warm density of dried cherries and dried cranberries shot through with tang of gunpowder and black pepper. Orange zest and more pepper and metal lift red cherries and red plum skin off the palate, which seems to vibrate with energy and acid. Immediately delicious, with the promise of yet more elegance to come.

Vinous: 96 Points

The 2021 Boggina A, 100% Sangiovese in amphora, is brilliant. Medium in body and wonderfully translucent, the 2021 captures all the magic of the year in its finely cut, chiseled personality. Once again, Luca Sanjust and his team have turned out a stunning, vivid Sangiovese that is a far cry from earlier vintages, when this wine was often much less pure.

Wine Advocate: 94 Points

This is Sangiovese that has been fermented and aged in amphorae made with clay from Impruneta, Tuscany. It sees eight months of skin contact. The Petrolo 2021 Val d'Arno di Sopra Bòggina A was born in what vintner Luca Sanjust describes as a difficult year for farming but one that ultimately gave great results. The wine shows an especially tight and firm character that becomes almost Burgundian with time, with floral notes and blood orange. Sulfites are reduced to a minimum in order to give the lift and punchiness that works so well.

Wine Spectator: 93 Points

This red is pure and supple in texture, offering aromas and flavors of cherry, strawberry, rose and iron. Charming and focused, with fine intensity and a long, mouthwatering saline aftertaste. Sangiovese.
