IL BORRO
TOSCANA ROSSO 2020
IL BORRO • GRAND CRU • ORGANIC TUSCANY
"The Ferragamo masterpiece: a red wine of absolute nobility that captures the deepest essence of Valdarno."
The Pinnacle of Organic Excellence
Il Borro 2020 is the wine that gives the winery its name and represents the vision of perfection of Ferruccio Ferragamo and his children. Produced under strict organic and biodynamic principles in the heart of Upper Valdarno, this Bordeaux blend is the result of a surgical selection of the property's best Merlot and Cabernet grapes. The 2020 vintage stands out for its aristocratic concentration and a freshness achieved only in vineyards with total ecological balance. After 18 months of aging in new French oak barrels, the wine emerges as a symphony of power, elegance, and seemingly endless persistence.
