Description
What type of wine it is
Pian di Nova by Il Borro is a still red wine that best expresses the character of the Tuscan denomination. The result of a careful blend of Syrah and Sangiovese grapes, this red stands out for its soft and enveloping profile. It presents an intense ruby red colour and reveals a good body on the palate, combined with a marked silkiness. The present but non-invasive tannins and good freshness make the tasting balanced, smooth, and highly pleasant.
Where it comes from
This wine has its origins in the territory of Tuscany, an area dedicated to viticulture. Produced by the Il Borro estate, this red faithfully reflects the authentic flavours of the land where it is born. The link with the historical roots of the area allows the grapes to develop a clear territorial imprint, capable of translating into a glass with marked expressiveness and geographical recognisability.
How it is produced
The processing of this wine involves a careful 12-month ageing process in second-passage barrels. This production phase is essential for enriching the organoleptic profile, developing floral notes, hints of red berries, and a distinct spicy finish. Thanks to this winemaking process, the wine acquires great versatility at the table, proving to be an ideal accompaniment for traditional Tuscan dishes or the flavourful spicy preparations typical of Oriental cuisine.
History and curiosities
This prestigious wine is produced by the renowned estate Il Borro Società Agricola, an entity that perfectly embodies winemaking tradition. A fascinating detail of the bottle is its cream-coloured label, embellished with an elegant classical illustration of a Tuscan landscape, which recalls the true historical roots of the area. Internationally, the blend has received great acclaim, including the award of ninety-two James Suckling points. This recognition confirms the high level of quality of this famous Toscana IGT throughout the world.
