The Contemporary Face of Il Borro
The Pian di Nova 2021 represents the dynamic vision of the **Il Borro** winery. Located at the foot of the Pratomagno mountains, the estate takes advantage of a unique microclimate to cultivate a highly expressive Syrah. In this blend, the Syrah contributes a silky structure and notes of black pepper, while the Sangiovese injects the vivacity and fruity character typical of Tuscany. With a balanced aging in second-use French oak barrels, it is a wine that prioritizes the honesty of the fruit and unadorned elegance, true to the refined lifestyle of the Ferragamo family.
