This is an entry-level blend of mostly Syrah with a smaller part Sangiovese. Il Borro's 2017 Pian di Nova is a well-balanced wine with the softness and savory character of the French grape framed by the racy acidity of the Tuscan variety. This was a hot and dry vintage; however, the integrity of the fruit remains intact. Perhaps you get a little extra softness and rich concentration on the finish with black cherry, blackberry and soft spice.

A rigid, compact version, exhibiting black cherry, plum and underbrush flavors, backed by firm tannins. Drink now. 6,800 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.
