Made on Ferruccio Ferragamo’s estate, it reflects the region’s winemaking heritage through bright fruit, elegant tannins and a distinctive slate-grown character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe nose opens with sour cherry and peony, followed by hints of black pepper, liquorice, juniper and sandalwood. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and balanced, with lively acidity, refined tannins and a clean, lingering finish.\n\nIts structure suggests potential to develop in the bottle, though no specific drinking window is provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Sangiovese comes from the Polissena single vineyard, situated about 350 metres above sea level on well-drained slate soils. The organically farmed vines are managed for low yields, and the grapes are hand-harvested before being transferred to stainless-steel vats by gravity. Maceration lasts 22 days under controlled temperatures in a carbon-dioxide-rich environment; the wine then matures for 12 months in Allier oak barrels, followed by a short period in stainless steel, light filtration and six months of bottle ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe at around 16–18°C with game, richly prepared meats such as Chianina beef, or mature cheeses. A brief decant of around 30 minutes can help the wine’s aromatic and savoury notes open up; serving it directly from the bottle is also suitable if given time in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIl Borro is a Tuscan estate owned by Ferruccio Ferragamo, centred on a carefully restored medieval village.
