“Alessandro Dal Borro tells our story, that of the territory and the men who lived there. This product is born of Ferruccio Ferragamo’s great passion for Il Borro and for one of the varieties that most represents his terroir, “Syrah”. This product reminds us of its organoleptic characteristics, the nobility and the greatness of the Estate’s historical figure from whom the wine takes its name.

Alessandro Dal Borro IGT Toscana is obtained by pressing 100% Sangiovese grapes. The grapes are placed in small crates weighing 10 kilos at the most. Following harvest, the grapes are cooled overnight at a temperature of 8° C. Processing of the grapes begins at the selection table where each cluster is checked by the workers and if the quality is not satisfactory, the clusters are discarded. Following destemming, the berries are checked on the second selection table where an accurate selection takes place and it is here above all that fragments of the stalk are eliminated. The goal is to ferment only the grapes, that is the skins, the grape seeds and the juice totally without fragments of the stems. Fermentation is achieved in French oak truncated cone vats and lasts over 40 days. All these operations are manual. After fermentation Alessandro Dal Borro is decanted in barriques of which 75% are new and 25% a year old; the barriques must be made of the best selection of fine grain French oak. Malolactic fermentation takes place in the barriques and is followed by refinement on yeast for 6 months; “élevage” is completed in barriques for 18 months.
