Il Borghetto IL BORGHETTO MONTIGIANO 2020

Description

Borghetto Montigiano, with concrete élevage, shows the pristine and fruity side of Sangiovese. Fresh, agile, juicy and soft in the mouth. It is excellent with grilled meat and grilled vegetarian skewers. Il Borghetto is a sustainable agriturismo that organically cultivates 5 hectares of vineyards and 12 hectares of olive groves, in Montefiridolfi, a hilltop town in the northwest corner of Chianti Classico. The area could be considered a sub-area or sub-area of ​​the San Casciano area.

The clay soil with some limestone has excellent water retention and gives wines with finesse, freshness and elegance, even during hot, dry vintages. The vineyard is made up of an interesting mix of Sangiovese clones and biotypes (e.g. Clone F9 / R24 Biondi Santi). The harvesting takes place in several steps row by row; the musts are then fermented in several plots in the cellar before final blending. The must ferments using a percentage of whole bunches, which is unusual in Italy. This technique gives the wines a distinctive aromatic elegance and silky tannins. The winery approach in general is minimal intervention, including indigenous yeast fermentations in large open concrete vats or food-grade plastic containers. There are no pumps, all the transfer is by gravity. Notes of herbs, crushed flowers and elegant fruit describe the wines in general. The Monte de Sassi cru presents more of an open-mesh fruit, with a fun splash of Cannaiolo; the Bilaccio cru is a sophisticated blend of soft, soft fruit and silky tannins. “Bilaccio remains one of the most intriguing and unique wines produced in Chianti Classico.”
