Tosco's word
The Toscana IGT Rosso – Il Borro 2020 stands out with a price of €40 versus €48 for the 2017, an €8 gap that tips the balance. Both share the same score of 7.3 and identical criticism of their limited Tuscan roots, but the 2020 offers a slightly more reasonable value at €40.44. If your budget is tight, choose the 2020; if you prefer an older vintage with aging potential, the 2017 remains an option, but know that you pay more for an almost identical profile.
