Il Borro IL BORRO IGT Tuscany from Italy, Tuscany by Farragamo Il Borro Arrezo (6 x 75 cl)

Winemaking at Il Borro dates back to 1760 when the estate was under the rule of the noble Medici-Tornaquinci Family, since 1999 however the Ferragamo Family in conjunction with enologist Niccolo D'Afflitto have developed the winemaking process and opened a new state of the art winery. The estate, which extends over 700 hectares currently has 40 hectares of that land dedicated to vines. The soil has an excellent structure with a good sandy composition which denotes itself to the growing of five varieties of vine: Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Petit Verdot all of which are used in this blend. The grapes are accurately hand selected before soft crushing. The alcoholic fermentation lasts 10 days at 30°C, the maceration on the skins continues for a further 22 days. The wine is then racked in Allier oak barriques, in which the malo-lactic fermentation takes place, ageing for 12 month and fining for an additional 6 months. Intense ruby red coloured wine with purple reflections and an intense, rich vinous, complex bouquet of red berries, underbrush and sweet spices. This blend is dry, full-bodied, warm, smooth, luscious and has well integrated tannins, intense, well balanced, with a very long and pleasant finish. (6 x 75 cl)

Established in 1980, Terre da Vino is an association of vineyard owners from DOC and DOCG estates in Piedmont. With 2,500 wine growers it cultivates more than 4,000 hectares organised into 14 Wine Co-operatives, located in the classic area of production. With a new modern winery and a focus on quality production from the vineyard to the bottle this is an exciting time for Terre da Vino. Barolo Chinato debuted in Piedmont at the end of the 19th century and quickly became popular for its reputation as a medicinal wine. The recipe followed for this wine calls for a natural infusion of China Calissaja bark, rhubarb root, and about ten other aromatic herbs. Il Diavolo sulle Colline was named after the book by Cesare Pavese and was chosen to represent the wine's magnificent sensory complexity, power, aromatic pleasures, as well as its profound relationship to the land from which it springs. The Barolo base wine for the 'Il Diavolo sulle Colline' Chinato is produced from grapes of the comuni Castiglione Falletto, Serralunga d'Alba, and Monforte d'Alba, which yield Barolos of pronounced character and structure, to which are added others from the areas of Barolo, La Morra and Verduno, which give wines greater fragrance and elegance. This wine is a deep garnet red colour with a bouquet that is full, rich, heady, and opulent, exuding spices and aromatic herbs. The palate is sweet, full-bodied, velvet-smooth and pleasantly bitterish in the finish. Available in half bottles. (6 x 37.5 cl)
