Il Borro Valdarno di Sopra “Borrigiano” Red Blend 2018

The production has been accomplished through an alternative system making use of large oak casks of 75hl and 50hl as well as the refrigeration of the grapes followed by a cold maceration lasting two days.

Blend: 40% Merlot, 35% Syrah, 25% Sangiovese

The grapes of Sangiovese, Syrah and Merlot are hand-harvested when technological and phenolic maturity are reached. The refrigeration and the cold maceration in large oak barrels allow to maintain the complexity of the aromatic compounds naturally present in grapes.

Subsequently the temperature-controlled fermentation takes place and it is followed by an aging of 10 months in large wooden casks.

Borrigiano has a lively ruby color with purplish reflections. The bouquet is intense, with notes of fresh little red fruits mainly reminiscent of cherry and with light spicy scents of ginger and white pepper. The taste is pleasantly fresh, with soft tannins and a lively fruity end leaving a clean harmonious mouth feeling.
