Rich, full-bodied wine with a dimensional floral notes of berries, cherries, and tea notes, complemented by the gentle sweetness of licorice. The ending is long and satisfying, with a firm tannic profile that will only improve with age.

Polissena boasts a rich, garnet-hued hue. Its olfactory profile is marked by earthy traces and elegant notes of ripe fruit. The wine is crisp, with a substantial body and a inviting tannic presence. The conclusion is noted for by cherry, oak, and raspberry notes.

This Il Borro Sangiovese Toscana Polissena is a complex and deeply structured red wine. On the nose, aromas of ripe cherries, plums, and hints of earthy spices are complemented by subtle notes of forest floor and leather. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and intensely flavorful, with vibrant acidity and a long, silky finish. Aromas of blackberry, cassis, and spices dominate, while notes of forest floor, leather, and licorice add an intriguing depth and complexity. Enjoy this robust Italian red wine with a variety of dishes, from grilled meats to aged cheeses.
