Borrigiano – named after the inhabitants of the medieval village of Il Borro – marks a special chapter in the history of the Ferragamo family. As the estate's first wine to bear the prestigious Valdarno di Sopra DOC designation, it embodies the tradition of an appellation that was recognised as one of the first four Tuscan wine regions as early as 1716 by Cosimo III de' Medici. Grown in organically farmed vineyards at altitudes of between 300 and 500 metres in the Valdarno Valley, this elegant cuvée is made from 70% Sangiovese and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. The unique soil composition – characterised by sandstone, clay and fossilised marine deposits from a prehistoric lake – lends the wine its characteristic minerality. Ten months' ageing in large wooden casks preserve the vibrant fruit and create a harmonious balance between tradition and innovation.

Bright ruby red with violet highlights, the Borrigiano offers seductive aromas of fresh red berries, reminiscent of Tuscan 'Cerasa' cherries. Spicy notes of ginger and white pepper lend the bouquet additional complexity. On the palate, a lively fruitiness unfolds, supported by elegant tannins and a refreshing acidity that leaves the mouth and palate feeling clean and harmonious. A versatile wine that pairs perfectly with Tuscan classics such as ribollita and pappa al pomodoro. What makes it special is that it demonstrates, in a charming (and affordable) way, the great potential of this up-and-coming winery. SUPERIORE.DE

"The nose is defined by the subtle energy of wild strawberries, raspberries, blood orange, warm brick and top soil. Raspberry jam and wild cherry candy star on a palate which is both sweet and tart, then the earth tones return, before a chili pepper heat and a sprinkle of salt finish things off." Wine Enthusiast

"A light, bright red wine with aromas of redcurrants and orange peel, and a creamy texture on the finish. It's truly satisfying." James Suckling
