Chardonnay, an international grape variety capable of expressing unique personalities depending on its terroir, finds one of its most elegant and distinctive interpretations in the Tuscan hills of Il Borro. The recent ratings by James Suckling celebrate two flagship labels that embody our winemaking philosophy — both crafted from organically grown grapes and vinified to fully enhance the varietal’s identity.
Il Borro Valdarno di Sopra Chardonnay DOC 2024 – 96/100
James Suckling describes it as:
“Attractive aromatics of jasmine, honeysuckle and hints of other white flowers, as well as pears and apples. Medium-bodied with lovely phenolics and a serious finish. The complex, reductive character develops with air and gives a minerally, oyster-shell undertone. Could be a new standard for chardonnay in Tuscany. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold.”
Lamelle IGT Toscana Chardonnay 2024 – 92/100
According to James Suckling:
“A crisp and delicious chardonnay with medium body and nice apple and pear character. Minerals and a hint of limes at the end. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.”
Two expressions that each tell their own story of Chardonnay’s versatility and elegance in Tuscany, united by the same passion for quality and respect for the land that have always defined Il Borro.
