IL BORRO
TOSCANA ROSSO 2020
IL BORRO • GRAND VIN • ORGANIC TUSCANY
"The Ferragamo masterpiece: a red of absolute nobility that captures the deepest essence of Valdarno."
The Pinnacle of Organic Excellence
The 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 the Upper Valdarno, this Bordeaux blend is the result of a surgical selection of the best Merlot and Cabernet grapes from the property. The 2020 vintage stands out for an aristocratic concentration and a freshness that is only achieved 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.
