It stands out for its medium-bodied and balanced style, supported by lively acidity and \u003cstrong\u003eelegant tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e. The aromatic profile opens with notes of morello cherry and floral hints of peony, then evolves towards spicy nuances of black pepper, liquorice, juniper and sandalwood. On the palate, it offers a refined and very clean finish. Thanks to its characteristics, this wine pairs ideally with \u003cstrong\u003egame dishes\u003c\/strong\u003e, fine meats such as Chianina beef, and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red originates in Tuscany, in the Valdarno di Sopra area, and comes from the \u003cstrong\u003ePolissena vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e, a single estate cru. The vines grow at three hundred and fifty metres above sea level on \u003cstrong\u003eschist soils\u003c\/strong\u003e with optimal drainage, conditions that favour regular ripening and support a precise tannic structure. The entire agricultural cycle follows the principles of \u003cstrong\u003eorganic farming\u003c\/strong\u003e, applied to a controlled-density planting system that ensures low yields. This meticulous approach enhances the raw material while preserving the integrity of the land and its resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter manual harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and transferred by gravity into vats. A \u003cstrong\u003ewhole bunch maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e is carried out for twenty-two days in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, in an environment rich in carbon dioxide. On the first day, a saignée is performed to increase the concentration of the must, then alcoholic fermentation begins. The wine matures for twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003eAllier oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, during which malolactic fermentation is completed. After its time in wood, it spends a short period in stainless steel, undergoes light filtration, and a \u003cstrong\u003efinal ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e of six months.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn on the Il Borro estate of Ferruccio Ferragamo, Polissena is a true tribute to Tuscan tradition. This \u003cstrong\u003epure Sangiovese\u003c\/strong\u003e comes to life from the cru of the same name, located at 350 metres above sea level, on schistose, well-drained soil that enhances its innate elegance. The result of \u003cstrong\u003eorganic farming since 2015\u003c\/strong\u003e, the wine reflects the soul of a medieval village that has been expertly restored. The 2019 vintage, awarded \u003cstrong\u003e92 points by Robert Parker\u003c\/strong\u003e, offers a tasting experience with a bold, harmonious and memorable character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Il Borro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44511756845227,"sku":"47268","price":25.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/il-borro-sangiovese-vigna-polissena-2019_47268_1_87b22a2f-0252-4252-a526-e59ec374c3e0.webp?v=1773717410","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-ch\/products\/il-borro-sangiovese-vigna-polissena-2019","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
