Il Borro Polissena Toscana Sangiovese IGT 2019
Polissena is a work of love towards one of Tuscany’s most representative grape varieties, Sangiovese. The vineyard from which is produced is planted on a schistose soil featuring an excellent drainage, perfect for it. It’s an elegant wine that surprises with its strong yet refined character.
