Ormanni Borro del Diavolo 2017
Variety:
Red
|
Sangiovese
Winery: Ormanni
Region:
Tuscany,
Italy
Vinous 93 - The 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva Borro del Diavolo is rich and generous in the glass, which is to say very much in the style of the year. Sweet red cherry, orange peel, spice, leather, tobacco, cedar and dried flowers all meld together nicely. There are some elements of rusticity, but they are tempered by the open-knit style of the year. The 2017 spent around 30 months in cask. Readers should expect a decidedly old-school Riserva.
Wine Spectator 92 - Bright, with cherry, currant, mineral and woodsy aromas and flavors, this red is balanced and ready to enjoy. The core of sweet fruit offsets the refined tannins. Firms up on the finish, so there's no rush to drink this. Drink now through 2027.

Tuscany, Italy
Tuscany is Italy’s third most planted wine region. Throughout the district, which includes such acclaimed vicinities as Chianti and Montalcino, a variety of grapes have come to be grown. International varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon; Cabernet Franc; Chardonnay; Merlot; Pinot Noir; Sauvignon Blanc; and Syrah, however the signature grape of the region is Italy’s own Sangiovese.
The terrain is quite hilly as it gradually undulates toward the Apennine Mountains. The Sangiovese grape performs best under direct sunlight. For this reason, many Tuscan vineyards are located on hillsides, allowing for as much unimpeded light as possible. The higher elevation of most of the vineyards also increases their daily temperature variations, thereby helping the grapes to obtain optimal harmony of sugars, acidity, and aromatics.
