Intensely savory at first, with topsoil, graphite, leather, then fresh and floral with crushed sage and lavender, before wild cherry and wild strawberry emerge. Black cherry notes are generous and bright on the palate but with deep, brooding earth tones as a contrast. Tannins are refined but with tensile strength, like good armor, and a warm but bracing salinity carries through a long finish.
Winemaker Notes
Il Borro is our flagship wine, the one that best embodies our values and our vision. After an accurate geological study Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah have been planted in the best suited soils to express all their potential, giving birth to a velvety and opulent blend. A supple, almost opulent red, with a core of ripe raspberry and kirsch. Features floral, wild herb and iron notes that provide depth, and the firm structure keep this bouyant and well-defined. Reveal hints of vanilla that leave a spicy impression on the long finish
