Valdarno di Sopra DOC Polissena - Il Borro 2019

The Valdarno di Sopra DOC Polissena, produced by the acclaimed winery Il Borro, is a distinguished example of Tuscan enological excellence. This red wine, strictly organic, is born from the passion and commitment to environmental sustainability that define Il Borro's philosophy.

Sourced from the fertile lands of the Valdarno di Sopra area, Polissena is a single-varietal Sangiovese. The grapes for this wine are meticulously selected and come from vineyards that enjoy an ideal location, benefiting from a perfect microclimate for optimal grape ripening.

After the harvest, the grapes undergo a fermentation process in stainless steel tanks, followed by a maturation period in French oak barriques for about 12 months. This process imparts to Polissena a robust structure and an elegant balance of aromas.

On the nose, the wine reveals intense notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, enriched by undertones of sweet spices and a slight hint of tobacco and leather, testament to its aging in barrels.

On the palate, Polissena presents a vigorous attack, yet it remains soft and velvety at the same time. The palate is a perfect blend of the characteristic acidity of Sangiovese and well-integrated tannins, ensuring good persistence and a pleasantly harmonious aftertaste.

This wine is ideal for pairing with hearty Tuscan dishes, like red meat roasts, game, and aged cheeses. Its refinement and complexity also make it perfect as a wine for contemplation.

The Valdarno di Sopra DOC Polissena by Il Borro encapsulates the history, terroir, and craftsmanship of Tuscany, representing an excellent choice for connoisseurs seeking authentic and high-quality Italian wines.
