This is Il Borro's flagship bottling of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah-- an easy choice for super-Tuscan fans. Keeping with Tuscany's "bold elegance," the wine is full-bodied and finely-textured on the palate, with a lifted freshness and delineated flavors. This old estate, in the sunny Arno River valley below Florence, belonged to nobility for centuries until it was sold to Ferruccio Ferragamo, son of the eponymous fashion company's founder. Throughout the 1990s, he and his son, Salvatore, took up a restoration project to bring the estate back to life, while preserving its history.
Today the winery is the state of the art for producing modern expressions that maintain the fingerprints of this old, wild land. In line with the family's fashion business, their beautiful property serves as a top-class resort amongst the sustainably farmed vines, olive trees and vegetable gardens, whose produce you'll find at the restaurants. Organically Farmed.
JAMES SUCKLING 96 POINTS - "Fresh and floral with black cherry and lavender aromas that follow through to a medium body with well integrated tannins, that spread beautifully across the palate. Turns silky and beautiful. Hints of smoke and spice at the end. Crunchy at the end. 50% merlot, 35% cabernet sauvignon and 15% syrah. Drinkable but even better in three to four years."
