2017 Il Borro Sangiovese Petruna in Anfora, Tuscany, Italy

ABOUT THIS WINE

Petruna, 100% Sangiovese, is the latest organic wine born in the Il Borro cellar, with the Vald'Arno di Sopra Doc denomination. An important wine, the result of the right balance between tradition and innovation. The roots of Petruna in fact go back to the Etruscan period, when our ancestors used to make wine in terracotta amphorae.

The amphorae are filled with wine of the same type and closed with a steel lid. The wine inside them remains in contact with the skins for 12 months. During this period the interaction between the terracotta, the wine and the skins allows the characteristic.
