{"product_id":"boggina-anfora-petrolo-2021-75cl","title":"Boggina Anfora, Petrolo 2021 75cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eBoggina Anfora takes the same prized Sangiovese vineyard as Petrolo's Riserva and vinifies it in terracotta amphorae instead of oak. The result is one of the most compelling expressions of amphora-aged Tuscan red being made today: pure, textural and unmistakably alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePetrolo farm in the Valdarno di Sopra, in the hills between Florence and Arezzo, and the Boggina vineyard is their Sangiovese heart. Here the fruit is fermented and aged in buried terracotta jars, a method that lets the wine breathe gently without any imprint of new wood. What you get is Sangiovese with nothing between you and the grape, plus the fine, chewy texture that skin contact in clay brings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose is savoury and lifted: sour cherry, cranberry, blood orange, dried herbs, wild fennel and a stony, almost ferrous note. The palate is medium-bodied, taut and mineral, with vivid acidity and finely grained, slightly grippy tannins that give it a satisfying, textural pull. There is a wild, untamed edge here that oak would have smoothed away, and the finish is long, dry and savoury.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt around £70 this is a wine for the curious and the committed, someone who wants to taste place rather than technique. Drink it now with food and a good decant, or hold it several years. It only gets more interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 15–17°C in a large glass. Decant an hour ahead, or even more, to let the wild aromatics settle and unfurl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Drink It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrawn in Columbia Road champions low-intervention reds like this. Noble Rot Soho would pour it gladly. Sager + Wilde suits it perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTry it with grilled lamb and salsa verde. Also brilliant with a plate of charcuterie and lentils.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Decant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56963866886468,"sku":"HO36102B21","price":69.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/2551\/9940\/files\/HO36102B21.png?v=1784038892","url":"https:\/\/checkout.houseofdecant.com\/products\/boggina-anfora-petrolo-2021-75cl","provider":"House of Decant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
