James Suckling
The aromas of orange peel, violets and currants with a hint of graphite are enticing and follow through to a medium body with ultra-fine tannins and a fresh and focused finish. I love the texture of the tannins. From organically grown grapes. Better in three or four years. Try after 2028.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
An organic blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, the Il Borro 2021 Il Borro shows balanced fruit, with blackberry, green spice and baking chocolate. This wine benefits from cooler growing conditions at 350 to 500 meters in elevation with steep diurnal shifts and afternoon winds. The quality of fruit is intense in this vintage, and this full-bodied blended red closes with elegantly chalky tannins.

Black cherries and blackberries, then dark chocolate and espresso on the nose open up for a layered palate, with more cherries and berries anchored in savory, earthy, saline notes. The tannins are tightly coiled but polished to gleaming, floating in easy companionship with bright acid and a quiet, rumbling heat underneath.
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.
