Der Il Borro ist das Flaggschiff des Weingutes. Er besteht zu 50% aus Merlot, 25 % Cabernet-Sauvignon, 10% Syrah und zu 5 % aus Petit Verdot. Die Trauben wuchsen auf einer Seehöhe von 300m über dem Meeresspiegel. Dieser Wein reifte 18 Monate in neuen französischen Barriques und dann nochmals mindestens 6 Monate in der Flasche im Weingut, bevor er ausgeliefert wurde. Wie man aus der Zusammensetzung des Cuvees unschwer erkennt ist dieser Wein eher ein Wein internationaler (französischer) Stilistik, allerdings mit italienischem Charme. Das führte auch zu hohen Bewertungen - 2 rote Gläser im Gambero Rosso und 3 von 3 möglichen Sternen im Veronelli.
ab 2015 BIO
97 Points - James Suckling:
"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." - (7 Nov, 2019)
96 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"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." - Monica Larner (31st May 2019)
92 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"The black currant, black cherry and herbal aromas and flavors are well-balanced, unfolding to reveal cedar, iron, sanguine and tobacco notes that add depth and expression. Fine length. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Best from 2021 through 2030. 5,000 cases made, 1,500 cases imported." — BS (Jun 30, 2019)
