Borachio Sangiovese 2019

Borachio's 2019 Sangiovese comes from organically farmed vines in Mount Torrens, a locality in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia. This is the final vintage from this particular vineyard source, as the vines are no longer there. The wine is 100% Sangiovese, made with zero additives and no sulfur added.

Winemaker Mark Warner used 100% whole-bunch semi-carbonic maceration, with the fruit locked down for approximately one week and zero forced extraction. The wine was not fined and not filtered. The result is a bright, clear garnet in the glass, with a nose of blue-toned fruit and a clean, healthy ferment character underneath.

On the palate it sits firmly in the light-bodied, high-acid camp that defines Borachio's approach to red wine. Juicy raspberry fruit, a light grip of tannin, and pronounced acidity make this a wine you want slightly chilled. The 2019 vintage brought more depth and structure to this cuvee compared to its predecessor.

Borachio wines are bottled in small quantities in McLaren Flat, South Australia. All wines across the range share the same philosophy: organic fruit, no additions, and no corrections in the cellar.
