Fruity and juicy with cherries and berries, together with some orange peel and citrus. Spices, too. Full-bodied, yet lively and gorgeous. Crisp. Structured. Sangiovese. From organically grown grapes. JS
Aged in amphorae with one year on the skins, the Il Borro 2019 Valdarno di Sopra Sangiovese in Anfora Petruna is punchy in character and light ruby in color. Micro-oxidation through clay vessels makes for less color intensity, but the wine's fruity freshness is spot-on, as is its streamlined mouthfeel. This wine was first produced in 2015. Earthy tones and terracotta frame a core of dark fruit. I love this easy-drinking style of red wine. RP
