BorratellaChianti Classico
Ruby red color with purple shade. Harmonious red fruits smell such as blueberry and cherry, combined with floral and slightly spiced notes. Properly tannic flavour, wide and balanced. Long and fruity aftertaste.
BorratellaClassico Riserva
Intense ruby red color. Well balanced smell with berries notes, blackberry, enriched by spicy notes and aromatic herbs. Good tannic flavour, silky and enveloping. Balanced, dry and spicy aftertaste.
BorratellaYaro Supertuscan
A nice blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot that would brighten up any meaty pasta with shaved pecorino, the Borratella 2017 Yaro pours from the bottle with an inky dark color with lots of dark and enriched fruit intensity. The wine is sweet and plush with rich layers of dark fruit, blackberry, soft cherry and spice. Its density is thick and forward driven thanks to the freshness of the fruit and the pretty softness of the finish.
