Winemaker Notes
"Il Borro" has an intense ruby color, with purplish reflections. The bouquet is full and intense, concentrated, with notes of underbrush and with spicy scents. The taste is dry, with a good body and soft tannins, a good consistency, well integrated and persistent.
Ideal with all Tuscan dishes cooked with meat, Tuscan croutons, aged cheeses, cured meats, first and main courses with game (wild boar, chianina meat and salami). Il Borro wine also pairs perfectly with hamburgers.
Blend: 50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah

James Suckling
This has a deep, blue-fruited nose with hot stones, cassis, dried chilies, bitter chocolate and hints of menthol. Gravel, too. Full-bodied with firm tannins. Compact core of blue and black fruit. Long and focused.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Fantastic aromas of dark berries, cinnamon and chili pepper, as well as paprika. Medium to full body with firm, fine and very silky tannins and beautiful fruit. Long, with lovely structure and depth. Yet, it remains accessible and attractive at a young age. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
