Valdarno di Sopra

Medium

Cork

The nose is more floral-spicy than fruit focused, with a savoury phenolic edge. On the palate there is lovely balance, with slightly grainy natural tannins, tangy underlying acidity, and a warm finish with a return of the sweet spices. The Borro estate was bought by Ferruccio Ferragamo of the famous fashion house in 1993, and in the years that followed he created a model winery with 87ha of organic vineyards and state of the art cellars. The estate is now managed by his son Salvatore, who together with consultant oenologist Stefano Chioccoli, has introduced a number of innovations into the production including this Sangiovese vinified in unglazed amphora, with 11 months of post-fermentation ageing on the skins. Outside the canons of conventional vinification of Sangiovese; this is a wine with a lot of personality.
