___
25% Sangiovese & 75% Syrah
Wine Advocate: 92
First produced in the early 2000s, Il Borro now has a very good track record with this entry-level red blend. The 2016 Pian di Nova is 75% Syrah and 25% Sangiovese that goes into mostly neutral barrique for 12 months. This happy vintage is particularly fresh and direct, with a real sense of brightness and energy in terms of its primary fruit. The wine is medium dark in appearance with a mid-weight feel and plenty of fresh fruit and soft tannins to follow. I can't imagine a better choice for your favorite pasta dish

A beautiful nose of violets, lavender, dried strawberries, hibiscus and a touch of vanilla. Medium-bodied with fine tannin, pretty acidity crunch and a tangy finish. Drink now
