ALESSANDRO
DAL BORRO MAGNUM 2018
IL BORRO • SYRAH TOSCANA IGT 1.5L FORMAT
"The essence of a man, the soul of a land: a monumental Syrah that redefines Tuscan luxury."
A Tribute to History
The Alessandro dal Borro 2018 in its Magnum format is much more than a wine; it is a liquid work of art. Named in honor of the legendary Alessandro dal Borro, "the terror of the Turks," this wine is a single-varietal Syrah born from a plot of only 1.5 hectares planted at high density. Under the direction of the Ferragamo family, the 2018 presents itself as a vintage of extraordinary finesse. Its aging in specially selected French oak barrels and its subsequent rest in this 1.5-liter format guarantee a complexity and structure that only the world's greatest wines can achieve.
