Il Borro 'Bolle di Borro' Metodo Classico Brut Rosé 2015

The Il Borro 'Bolle di Borro' Metodo Classico Brut Rosé 2015 is an exceptional sparkling wine from the renowned Il Borro estate in Tuscany. Known for its attention to detail and dedication to quality, Il Borro has crafted this rosé using the traditional Metodo Classico, the same method used in Champagne, with extended aging on the lees for added complexity. The 2015 vintage, made from 100% Sangiovese, highlights the elegance, finesse, and refreshing character of the varietal, making it a beautiful expression of Tuscan sparkling wine.

Appearance: Light salmon pink with fine, persistent bubbles, reflecting the wine’s elegance and quality.

Aroma: The nose is delicate and fresh, offering aromas of wild strawberries, red currants, and raspberries, complemented by floral notes of rose petals. There are also hints of toasted brioche and almond, which come from the extended aging on the lees, adding layers of complexity.

Taste: On the palate, this rosé is crisp and vibrant, with flavours of fresh red berries like strawberry and cranberry, balanced by a lively acidity. The mousse is creamy and persistent, while the lees aging imparts subtle toasty, nutty notes and a touch of biscuit. The wine’s minerality provides structure and depth, with a refined and elegant mouthfeel.

Finish: The finish is long and clean, with lingering red fruit, citrus zest, and a delicate hint of toast, leaving a refreshing and harmonious aftertaste.

Food pairing: This Brut Rosé pairs beautifully with a variety of foods, from fresh seafood like prawns, scallops, or oysters to light salads and charcuterie. It also complements dishes with rich, creamy sauces, such as lobster or salmon, and works well with soft cheeses like Brie or goat cheese, where its acidity balances the richness of the food.
