| Wine maker notes |
| Borrigiano is the first wine from Il Borro winery under the designation ?Valdarno di Sopra DOC? and with the Organic certification. It is produced after years of dedication to research, experimentation and enthusiasm in creating quality wines. The vineyards are planted at a density of 5000 vines per hectare with pruned-spur cordontrained system at 100cm above the ground. Each plant produces up to1 kg of grapes or 4500 kg of grapes per hectare yielding about 3,000 litres of wine. 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. The grapes of Sangiovese, Syrah and Merlot are hand-harvested when technological and phenolic maturity are reached. The refrigeration at 7?C 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 (28?C)takes place and it is followed by an aging of 10 months in large wooden casks. Borrigiano has a lively ruby colour 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. A touch of conviviality, a friend with whom to share memorable moments. This is the natural place of Borrigiano. Generous on the palette from the first taste to the last, this is a wine that will amuse. |

| ?The vines grow on the Valdarno hills at the foot of the Pratomagno Mountains, a perfect place for a vineyard. The unique pedoclimatic conditions infuse our wines. A great lake covered the entire valley during the Pliocene epoch leaving an enduring legacy in the chemical composition of the soil, a land ideal for making fine wine. Today mild winters and a temperate climate allow us to make the best use of this legacy. The bedrock is sandstone, above a base of a loam rich soil on a sandy clay matrix. A poor soil but ideal for the needs of the vine. It is no coincidence that from ancient times, this area has been well known for the production of wine and olive oil, a reputation that over the centuries has grown and spread around the world. It was the combination of these rare and precious characteristics that provided the impetus for Ferruccio Ferragamo to initiate a winemaking revival at Il Borro in 1995. Careful analysis and study guided every decision, from the choice of grape to the clones and rootstocks, nothing was left to chance. Autochthon grape varieties, such as Sangiovese, and those of the ?Tuscan tradition,? such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot grow side by side adapting perfectly to the variability of the soil. In all 45 hectares are under vine, 300 to 500 metres above sea level, divided between five varieties of grape to extract the very best wines from our precious terroir. ? |
