Il Borro Toscana Brut Rosado Bolle di Borro 750 ML

Introduction

The Sangiovese vaunts its elegance and the perlage is fine and persistent. The nose is rich with toasted bread and expressive red fruit, reminiscent of the tart cherry freshness of Sangiovese. In the mouth it has this creamy texture, enveloping silky nuances with a juicy tartness typical of Sangiovese. Producer Information Il Borro is an Italian wine producer, located in the Valdearno hills of Tuscany The estate’s vineyards are planted primarily to international grape varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay and Petit Verdot, as well as Tuscany’s most esteemed variety, Sangiovese. Il Borro’s vineyards cover 45 hectares (111 acres) of land and were planted in 1997. Here, a combination of sandstone and sandy-clay soils provide ideal terroir for viticulture. An altitude between 300 and 500 meters (984 to 1640 feet) above sea level exposes the vineyards to prevailing winds to encourage sturdy growth and deep root systems. The top wines in Il Borro’s portfolio include Alessandro dal Borro, a varietal Syrah that is aged for two years in oak, and Bolle di Borro, a traditional method ros made from 100 percent Sangiovese, aged for 48 months on the lees. The remaining portfolio is mainly composed of a collection of Toscana IGT wines.
