Day #273 of the year.

Tenute del Cabreo Il Borgo

Whisk yourself away to the Italian coast with this exquisite Tuscan red. The Tenute del Cabreo Il Borgo evokes geographic imagery in its name alone – “borgo” refers to the quaint village of Montefioralle that borders the vineyard where the wine is produced. The very soil of the Chianti region serves a purpose in the creation of the Il Borgo, ensuring that it is built for the long haul. Although we don’t know when exactly we’ll be able to travel abroad again, for now, curling up with a bonafide super-Tuscan is the next best thing.
