This is the flagship wine of the Ferragamo family’s beautiful Il Borro property in Tuscany and it does the estate proud. A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and smaller percentages of Syrah and Petit Verdot, it’s a concentrated wine with tones of earth, chocolate, exotic spice, prunes and red fruit. Consulting enologist Nicolo D’Afflitto has shaped the wine with 12 months of oak aging, adding deeper notes of spice, vanilla and clove. ——M.L.(2/1/2007)—— 93
