Petrolo Boggina B 2023

Amazing aromas of honeysuckle, grapefruit, heather, rosemary, Meyer lemon and hints of blanched almonds. It’s medium- to full-bodied with a creamy texture and nougat flavors, as well as esters and lavender honey. Hint of beeswax, too. Burgundy method with ancient trebbiano vines. New standard for Italian whites. From organically grown grapes. Drink and enjoy.

A great quality white wine, thoroughly impressive, delivering fleshy white pear and peach, sage, crushed rocks, toasted almonds, white truffle, lemongrass. Stretches out through the palate. Organic farming.

An excellent interpretation of Trebbiano, the Petrolo 2023 Bòggina B, bottled with its distinctive yellow wax capsule, stands out decisively among the white wines tasted in this report. The level of workmanship and complexity is striking, with layers of stone fruit and spice interwoven with a delicate mineral thread that ultimately makes all the difference. These contrasting elements land on the palate with clarity and impact, resulting in a wine that delivers pleasure on multiple levels. Aged in tonneaux for 15 to 18 months, this Trebbiano was released with a touch of reduction to preserve freshness and aromatic lift. Production totals 10,000 bottles, plus larger formats.

The 2023 Trebbiano Boggina B is one of the best vintages of this wine I have tasted. Aromatic, layered and super-expressive, the 2023 is an absolute delight from the very first taste. Floral overtones meld into apricot, peach, almond, chamomile and dried herbs. Fermentation in barrel leaves a slightly phenolic, bitter character that is quite appealing. The long, substantial finish is eternal. The Boggina B spent 20-22 months in 500-liter barrels, with some lees-stirring.
