Nitrito 2018

Il Borro (hentet 11. okt. 2026): Valdarno di Sopra Cabernet Sauvignon DOC 2018 An organic wine produced in a vineyard worked with draft horses, which marks another step towards sustainability. Thanks to the lower ground compression exerted by the hooves the soil is more oxygen-rich, hydrated, and rich in microorganisms. “Nitrito” means “neigh”, the sound of the horse that echoes in the countryside almost as a greeting, a companion to the workers in the vineyards. Årgangen: After a winter and a spring characterised by above-average temperatures and heavy rains, both summer and autumn have been regular and led to an optimal ripening of the grapes, which resulted in a really high quality product. Smagsnote (teknisk ark Nitrito2018_Scheda_eng.pdf): Profil: A sophisticated and elegant wine. Farve: A deep, dark ruby red. Aroma: To the nose, a delightful balsamic note intertwines with aromas of blackberry, blueberry and red flowers, flowing into elegant spices such as clove, pepper and anise, together with a hue of alpine herbs, helichrysum and leather. Smag: In the mouth the wine is full-bodied, powerful but elegant, with silky tannins that lead way to a long, balsamic aftertaste. Mad: The wine lends itself to pairings with meat and refined game dishes, such as venison fillet or wildboar in “dolceforte”.
