Il Borro 2015 Rosso IGT Toscana, Ferragamo

From world famous fashion designer Salvatore Ferragamo comes Il Borro. Grapes are harvested from 100 acres of vines on the estate in the beautiful Tuscan hills. A blend of 50% Merlot, 35% Caberent Sauvignon and 15% Syrah slow fermented and macerated over 28 days. The wine aged for 18 months in Allier French oak barrels. All of the vinification is overseen by famous enologist Nicol D'Afflitto.

James Suckling scored this 97 points saying "This is the best Il Borro to date with fantastic blackberry, blueberry and sandalwood aromas that follow through to a full body with masses of fruit. Yet, it remains bright and linear down the center palate. A rich and toned wine. 50 per cent merlot, 35 per cent cabernet and 15 per cent syrah. From organically grown grapes. Needs four or five years to come around. Best in 2022."

and the Wine Advocate scored it 96 points saying "This robust Tuscan blend of 50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Syrah is Il Borro's flagship wine. The 2015 Il Borro is an important and thickly enriched expression that shows ample power and muscle but remains elegantly modulated and contoured at the same time. The bouquet opens to dark fruit, blackberry, prune, spice, leather and tar. In the mouth, this wine is richly textured, velvety and concentrated, and it delivers balanced tannins and acidity. Il Borro has beautifully captured the warmth and exuberance of the terrific 2015 vintage."
