JAMES SUCKLING 99 points
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

VINOUS 95 points
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. - Antonio Galloni Drink Date: 2025 - 2032

Tuscan Trebbiano is having a moment, and Boggina B is one of the ringleaders. Vinified in tonneaux with indigenous yeasts, then with regular batonnage, it opens with a reductive flinty, struck-match aroma. In the mouth it's creamy, herbal and zesty, with rich layers of orange peel, toast and salted buttery popcorn. An enjoyable alternative to Chardonnay, but very much its own thing – and it ages wonderfully.
