Il Borro Sangiovese Petruna in Anfora 2021

Il Borro’s Petruna is an organic Sangiovese from Valdarno di Sopra, offering a distinctive Tuscan expression shaped by fermentation and maturation in terracotta amphorae. Its combination of ripe red-fruit character, lively acidity and mineral depth sets it apart from more conventionally oak-aged Sangiovese.

Tasting Notes
Bright ruby red in appearance, Petruna opens with a complex bouquet of ripe red fruits and subtle aromas imparted by its amphora ageing. The palate is full and well balanced, with measured tannins, fresh acidity and a pronounced mineral character, finishing dry and clean. The wine’s structure and acidity should allow it to develop over time, though no specific drinking or cellaring window is provided.

Production
The organically grown Sangiovese comes from the Valdarno di Sopra area of Tuscany, where the estate’s terroir is reflected in the wine’s freshness and aromatic clarity. The grapes are harvested in early September, then undergo an extended 11-month maceration on the skins in Tuscan terracotta amphorae. The wine is subsequently aged for a further 12 months in bottle.

Food & Serving
Serve with flavourful traditional meat dishes, hearty legume soups or other savoury, rustic fare. A moderate red-wine serving temperature will help preserve its freshness and aromatic detail. Decanting guidance is not specified; opening the bottle a little before serving can give the wine time to express its aromas.
