Tasting Notes The main characteristic of Bolle di Borro starting from the 2012 vintage is that it was aged on the lees for 60 months. The Sangiovese vaunts its elegance and the perlage is fine and persistent. The nose is rich with toasted bread and expressive red fruit, reminiscent of the tart cherry freshness of Sangiovese. In the mouth it has this creamy texture, enveloping silky nuances with a juicy tartness typical of Sangiovese.

The Story
The winery set out to craft a sparkling rosé with fresh aromas, balanced acidity and low sugar content - they did just that with 'Bolle di Borro', or 'Bubble of Borro'. The wine is 100% Sangiovese, native to the land and enmeshed with its properties. There is nothing else like it, aged longer than many Champagnes.
About Il Borro
Brand Story
Rumours of the Etruscans buzz throughout the vineyards, but concrete records of Il Borro date back to 1254, when the Mscagni family purchased the castle of Il Borro and the surrounding land. Ownership has changed many times, seeing royalty and the ambitious roam its halls. In 1993 Ferruccio Ferragomo purchased the estate, and his son Salvatore now leads as CEO.
