Product Notes

Petrolo Bòggina B - Bianco is a refined and elegant white wine produced in the heart of Tuscany. Made from 100% Sangiovese grapes grown in the prestigious Bòggina vineyard, this wine showcases the unique terroir of the region with its distinctive minerality and crisp acidity. The nose is filled with aromas of white flowers, citrus, and hints of tropical fruit, leading to a palate that is balanced and refreshing. With its light golden hue and complex flavor profile, Petrolo Bòggina B - Bianco is a perfect companion to seafood dishes, grilled vegetables, or enjoyed on its own as a sophisticated aperitif.

Tasting Notes

This is fresh and perfumed with notes of beeswax, spicy herbs and orange blossom. Nuts. Honey blossom. Beautiful fruit with savory undertones and wet stone minerality. Full-bodied, so persistent and complex with depth to the fruit and stunning acidity. The finish is long and linear, changing from mineral to a steely character at the very end. Beautiful as always. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling

About the Winery

The history of the Italian wine label of Petrolo dates back to 1716 when the early traces of the wine-rich regions of Chianti centre, Carmignano, Pomino and Val d’Arno di Sopra were identified. By 1834, this region was acquired by the owner of Petrolo wines, Giorgio Perrin. It was he who discovered that along with the French grape varietals, Sangiovese could also be planted in this region, especially in the place called Campo Asciutto (known as Boggina today).

The vineyards at Petrolo co-exist with the natural environment, thanks to which they produce excellent, high-quality and intense grapes. These vineyards spread across 31 hectares, out of which 26 hectares are used for the production of grapes. Located in the Chianti area, the vines here are planted at an average altitude of 250 to 450m above sea level. The details of these vineyards are:

San Macro – 3-hectare vineyard where Sangiovese is grown
Galatrona – First Merlot vineyard of Petrolo; 3-hectare region
Feriale – 5-hectare vineyard that is part of Galatrona; Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot are grown here
Casariccio – 2-hectare Sangiovese vineyard
Lecceta – One of the most ancient vineyards replete with Sangiovese vines
Asilo – 2-hectare vineyard where Sangiovese and Colorino are grown
Meletana – 1-hectare Merlot vineyard
Boggina – the flagship vineyard of the group; first vines were planted in 1947 here; Sangiovese is planted here
Campolusso – located near the natural park of the Chianti Hills, this small but high-density vineyard has Cabernet Sauvignon and Campolusso vines
Campaccio – 1-hectare Sangiovese vineyard
Dottore – 2-hectare Merlot vineyard
Poggio – 1.5-hectare Merlot vineyard

At Petrolo, low yields of fruits are the main aim, as the group believes in creating intense fruits that are true representations of the excellent terroirs where they are grown. Every single vine is treated with great care at the vineyards. Thanks to this, every bottle that comes out of the cellars is termed as “great”.
