The 2015 Petrolo Boggina C is a distinguished Sangiovese hailing from Tuscany, Italy. This wine, produced by Petrolo, is crafted from a single vineyard site with vines that are 65 years old. It presents a clear, lean expression of Sangiovese, highlighting the grape's natural fruitiness and acidity.

The reviews for this vintage are generally positive, with James Suckling providing an excellent review, scoring it a 95. He describes it as a "dense and beautiful young Sangiovese" with notes of "dried cherry, orange rind, and flowers." The wine is full-bodied, possessing a "tight and silky" texture with a "long and seamless finish." Suckling advises allowing the wine two to three years to soften, given its tannic and structured nature.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, with a score of 90, notes the wine’s "light and streamlined expression," with wild berry, raspberry, white almond, and grilled herb aromas. Monica Larner mentions the "prime, pristine and absolutely silky" mouthfeel, emphasizing its acidic freshness.

Wine Spectator awarded the wine a score of 92, highlighting its "bright, cherry-flavored" character, accented by "leafy tobacco and earth." It is described as "firm and pleasantly astringent," showing "fine intensity and freshness." The wine is aged in large casks and is recommended for consumption between 2019 and 2028.

Jeb Dunnuck, scoring it a 91, praises the wine as a "pretty, perfumed expression of Sangiovese," with "red fruits, spice, dried flowers, and dried herb-like aromas and flavors." He describes it as medium-bodied, "taut, energetic, and vibrant on the palate," with well-integrated acidity, suggesting it will age well over the next decade.

Overall, the 2015 Petrolo Boggina C is a well-regarded Sangiovese, offering a refined and balanced profile, suitable for aging and appreciated by critics for its complexity and structure.
