WINE DESCRIPTION

Il Borro's Petruna Anfora captures the innovative spirit of Tuscany through the revered Sangiovese grape. This wine is a unique expression, owing to its fermentation and aging in terracotta amphorae, a time-honored method that accentuates the wine's pure fruit profile and adds an intriguing earthen complexity. The result is a distinctive style that marries the bold flavors typical of Sangiovese with a more nuanced, delicate texture. Il Borro, with its commitment to sustainable viticulture and a fusion of traditional and modern techniques, offers a Sangiovese that is both rooted in heritage and distinctly contemporary.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Il Borro Petruna Sangiovese In Anfora is a fascinating dance of tradition and modernity.The nose is a medley of ripe red berries, infused with a subtle hint of terracotta-derived minerality. On the palate, the texture is unexpectedly fresh and smooth, with terracotta aging softening the Sangiovese’s typical tannic edge. Flavors of juicy plums and cherries are layered with herbal notes and a touch of spice, leading to a polished, well-rounded finish. This wine captures the essence of Sangiovese’s vibrant character while showcasing the gentler side brought forth by amphora maturation.
