With the Bòggina B, Petrolo revived an almost forgotten tradition in 2014: the great white wine of the Valdarno, as Tuscany had known it for centuries before red wine came to dominate the region. The wine takes its name from the Bòggina vineyard, where the first Trebbiano vines were planted in the 1970s; below this vineyard, the family has since replanted with the same original clones to secure the stock for decades to come. The 2024 vintage comes from certified organic cultivation, harvested by hand into crates and sorted on the sorting table. Spontaneously fermented with indigenous yeasts in tonneaux, it matures for over 15 months on the fine lees in specially selected French oak barrels, with bâtonnage that is constant at first and gradually tapers off – the wine remains unfiltered and undisturbed until bottling.

A rich golden-yellow colour in the glass, accompanied by a dense, honey-sweet bouquet of ripe stone fruit, saffron and a hint of elderflower, underpinned by grapefruit freshness and a chalky, salty minerality. Creamy and dense on the palate, with ripe fruit, subtle spice and a long, mineral finish that clearly reflects the months spent on the fine lees. A wine that demonstrates why Bòggina B has long been considered one of Tuscany's defining white wines. SUPERIORE.DE

"A rich, slightly cloudy straw-yellow colour. A fascinating nose that invites you to keep sniffing it – beeswax, cold smoke, yellow apple, flint and sea breeze, as well as chamomile blossoms. Lively and mouth-watering on the palate, with delicate tannins, a harmonious acidity and a lingering, slightly spicy, invigorating finish." Falstaff

"One of Italy's finest white wines, with aromas of honeysuckle, lavender, chalk, salt and dried lemons, as well as a hint of apples and orange blossom. Medium-bodied, with a firm texture and a racy finish that evolves into notes of lemon and lime with hints of honey and nuts. I love the texture and the long finish. Slightly cloudy, but that's nothing to worry about. Made from vines planted in the 1970s. Drink now or keep for ageing." James Suckling

"The 2024 Boggina B is one of the finest wines I have tasted from Petrolo. Aromatic and supple, with an outstanding finish, the 2024 delights from start to finish. Candied lemon, marzipan, white flowers and mint dance across the palate with captivating energy. A hint of reduction lends it character, but – unlike in some vintages – does not dominate." Vinous
