Winemaker Notes
Petruna Anfora has a deep ruby-red color. It has an intense, complex bouquet with notes of ripe red fruits and distinctive aromas deriving from the aging in terracotta amphora. It has a full-bodied flavor and well balanced tannins with a good acidity.
Petruna in Anfora is perfectly paired with traditional Tuscan dishes with meats but is also excellent with bread or vegetable soups. It can also be served to accompany aged or blue-veined cheeses.

James Suckling
Aromas of cedar, salted caramel, fresh flowers, and cherries follow through to a medium body with ultra-fine tannins that integrate beautifully into the wine7/10/23. Hints of wood at the end, but finishes beautifully. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Il Borro 2019 Valdarno di Sopra Sangiovese in Anfora Petruna comes from a vintage that naturally offers more concentrated fruit and a richer drinking style. These results are fleshed out and elegant with lots of dusty mineral shadings from aging in clay vessels. You also get notes of blue flower, cherry and dried mint leaf.
