Il Borro Petruna in Anfora DOC 2020

Il Borro's Petruna in Anfora 2020 is a distinctive expression of 100% Sangiovese, crafted using traditional Tuscan winemaking techniques that emphasize purity and authenticity.

Unique Winemaking Process:

• Harvesting: The Sangiovese grapes are meticulously hand-harvested into 10 kg cases to preserve their integrity.
• Fermentation: Fermented in Tuscan terracotta amphoras, an ancient method that allows natural temperature regulation and micro-oxygenation, enhancing the wine's aromatic profile and complexity.
• Maceration: Extended skin contact for 11 months within amphoras optimizes color, flavor, and tannin extraction.
• Aging: Following amphora maceration, the wine is refined for 12 months in the bottle, developing harmony and depth.

Why It's Unique:

The exclusive use of terracotta amphoras honors ancient Tuscan traditions. This method imparts a unique mineral character, as the porous nature of terracotta facilitates gentle micro-oxygenation without wood influence, preserving the pure fruit expression of Sangiovese. The result is a wine with deep ruby-red color, an intense bouquet of ripe red fruits, and a full-bodied flavor with balanced tannins and acidity.

Tasting Notes:

• Color: Deep ruby red.
• Aroma: Intense and complex, with ripe red fruits and distinctive mineral nuances from terracotta aging.
• Palate: Full-bodied with balanced tannins, pleasant acidity, and a long, elegant finish.
