Pian Di Nova is the entry-level wine from Il Borro Winery. It is produced using 25% Sangiovese grapes and 75% Syrah grapes balancing the traditional variety with an international one. The vineyards from which Pian Di Nova is produced have a density of 4.700 plants per hectare and are located at 200 meters above sea level. The soil is mostly loamy and sandy with a very good drainage capacity.
The two grape varieties are vinified separately once they are optimally ripe according to variety. They are hand harvested in 10kg cases and kept refrigerated overnight at the temperature of 5°C , then de-stemmed and sorted by an optical device and finally pressed and gravity-fed into vinification tanks. Maceration of the must lasts 2 days in the stainless- steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 10°C. Then the alcoholic fermentation takes place at controlled temperature of 25/28°C for about 10 days and then the wine is left to macerate on grapes skins for another 20 days. After the racking, the wine is kept in steel tanks for 6 months and then decanted into used oak barrels where is left to mature for 12 months. After the ageing in barriques the wine is decanted once again into steel tanks where the two grape varieties are blended, decanted and gently filtered. The wine is then ready to be bottled and stocked for another 6 months in order to take out its best potentialities.
TASTING NOTES
Colour: Intense ruby red color, with slight violet reflections at the edge of the glass.
Aroma: Notes of ripe red fruits such as blackberry and cherry blend skillfully with spicy nuances and a light touch of vanilla, a result of aging in barriques.
