Fattoria Petrolo

Inarno ist ein Gemeinschaftsprojekt von befreundeten Nachbar-Winzern der Region, die die Trauben liefern und Petrolo, die die handwerkliche und authentische Vinifikation übernehmen. Ein traditionell gefertigter und doch moderner, frischer Sangiovese voller Schönheit und Großzügigkeit in seiner Aromatik und Fülle. (superiore.de)

"Lightish ruby. Fresh and attractively dusty red fruit with a hint of orange. Much more savoury on the palate than I expected, almost a char quality even though there is no oak. Perhaps this is due to a slight reductive note." Jancis Robinson

Strahlendes Granatrot. In der Nase Pflaumen und Sauerkirschen, untermalt von Tabaknuancen. Die feinmaschigen Tannine verbinden sich wunderbar mit den Noten von roten Früchten und Lakritz im Abgang. Sehr klar und ausbalanciert. (superiore.de)

"Lovely aromas of sweet fruit, flowers such as violets and black olives. Sandalwood undertones. Full body and extremely fine tannins. Persistent and sexy. Shows such intensity and finesse." James Suckling

"The 2015 Torrione is gorgeous. Bright fruit and expressive floral notes give the Torrione striking energy. Hints of smoke, tobacco and game add further shades of complexity as the wine gains volume and nuance with air. Above all else, though, what stands out is an emphasis on energy that is quite a departure from the Petrolo style of years past. The 2015 is a winner. Don’t miss it." Antonio Galloni

"This is lean and taut, with cherry, leather, tobacco, earth and iron flavors. Leans to the dry side in the end, but has depth and character. Turns more elegant and complex with air." Wine Spectator

Im Bouquet die ganze Fülle des Sangiovese: Sauerkirsche, Pflaume, vielfältige florale Noten und Gewürze. Die filigranen Gerbstoffe verleihen Eleganz am Gaumen, dazu gesellen sich subtile Nuancen von Minze und Schokolade. (superiore.de)

"Very fine and silky with a tight and polished texture that shows wonderful length and definition. Medium body, pretty cherry and citrus character and a long and subtle finish. Well done for a difficult vintage." James Suckling

Das C im Namen des Boggina steht für den ca. 18 Monate im großen Holz und Tonneau ausgebauten Classico: Im Bouquet die ganze Fülle des Sangiovese - Sauerkirsche, Pflaume, vielfältige florale Noten und Gewürze. Die filigranen Gerbstoffe verleihen Eleganz am Gaumen, dazu gesellen sich subtile Nuancen von Minze und Schokolade. (superiore.de)

"Sour cherry, tea and tobacco aromas. Bright, juicy fruit core on a finessed palate with herbal complexity. Good length." Decanter

"A dense and beautiful young sangiovese with dried cherry, orange rind and flowers. Full body, tight and silky with a long and seamless finish. Tannic and structured. A fantastic sangiovese. Aged in cask. No new wood. Give it two to three years to soften." James Suckling

"Sangiovese from the central rows of Petrolo’s Bòggina vineyard ferments in cement tanks and rests in a mix of large French oak casks and tonneaux for 18 months, giving a wine with dark cherry flavors accented by black spice. It feels woodsy and earthy, with lively acidity and a cooling ferrous tone." Wine&Spirits

Das A im Namen des Boggina steht für den ca. 6 Monate in Terracotta-Amphoren à 400-600 Liter ausgebauten Naturwein, der ohne weitere Zugabe von Sulfiten in einer Auflage von gerade mal 1.200 Flaschen abgefüllt wird.

"Very perfumed aromas of plum, dried berry, cedar, and flower. Full body, with velvety tannins and a juicy finish. Love the texture and richness to this wine. Fascinating smoky undertone. Amphora gives it a life and energy of its own. No wood." James Suckling

"Bright ruby of pale to medium intensity. Warm, fragrant, almost burnt aromas and real texture and tension. The wine really does taste as though it had little bits of clay dissolved in it – but rather agreeably. Long and vibrant." Jancis Robinson

"Bòggina A originated in 2011, when Sanjust decided to ferment and age a portion of the wine in amphorae. The 2015 Bòggina A is a delicious rendering of unadorned sangiovese, its fresh red-cherry flavors brimming with vibrant acidity. Lean and taut at first, the wine fleshes out with exposure to air, evolving into darker fruit tones tinged with anise and fennel." Wine&Spirits

"Gewohnt süffig der Torrione 2008." Gambero Rosso 2011

"The blackberry flavor borders on jammy, with hints of tobacco, earth and mineral lurking underneath, along with pointed tannins. I like the balance to this, with a fresh finish of black currant and mineral." Wine Spectator

"The 2008 Torrione emerges from the glass with red cherries, plums, leather and tobacco. The wine possesses excellent up-front fleshiness and roundness." Robert Parker

Galatrona ist ein ausgeprägt terroirtypischer Merlot. Tiefer, fleischiger Duft nach reifen, dunklen Früchten und feinen Würztönen. Sein kompakter Geschmack und das dichte Tannin zeigen sein enormes Potenzial. (superiore.de)

"Sattes, undurchdringliches Rubin-Violett. Sehr intensive und kompakte Nase, satt nach Heidelbeeren, Brombeeren und dunklen Johannisbeeren, im Hintergrund nach Kardamom und feuchtem Waldboden. Zeigt am Gaumen feinmaschiges, kerniges Tannin, saftige, dunkle Frucht, zum Reinbeißen, zeigt beachtliche Länge." Falstaff

"The polish and fine texture to this 2014 is impressive with blueberry, dark chocolate and light walnut aromas and flavors. Medium body, integrated tannins and a long, refined finish. Serious sense for the vintage." James Suckling

"Petrolo’s 2014 Galatrona is impressive. Medium in body, with striking aromatic presence and depth, the 2014 is all class. Exotic spice, rose petal, mint and red plum give the 2014 its air of cool sophistication. A bit rough around the edges, the 2014 could use a bit of time in bottle to allow the tannins to soften a touch. This is a very strong showing from Petrolo." Antonio Galloni
