Boggina C

In the glass

Aroma: red cherry, dried herbs, tobacco, violet

Palate: sour cherry, Mediterranean herbs, iron, leather

Petrolo's pure Sangiovese cru from the Boggina parcel. Red-cherry and dried-herb aromatics on an iron-and-leather core; longer-format oak preserves transparency.

What it pairs with

• Florentine T-bone Find florentine t-bone on TableJourney →
  Charred T-bone needs the firm Sangiovese tannin; iron-and-leather meets the marbling.
• Pappardelle al cinghiale
  Wild boar finds the wine's herbal-leather register.
• Aged pecorino with mostarda
  Sheep's-milk salt sharpens the cherry; mostarda echoes the wine's spice.

History
