“Il Borro” extends over an area of 1,100 hectares  surrounding a thousand-year-old medieval village in the heart of Tuscany. It is situated in the Upper Arno Valley, a wide basin between the Pratomagno massif and the Chianti hills. Today it is a cutting-edge farm, entirely organic and eco-sustainable since 2015. The pride of the estate are the 85 hectares of vineyards and the 29 of olive groves. In 1993 Ferruccio Ferragamo became the owner of Il Borro Estate. From that time on, major work was undertaken throughout the medieval hamlet which was completely restored for the purpose of enhancing its history. Il Borro vineyards are planted on the hills of the Val d’Arno, at the foot of Mount Pratomagno, between 350 and 500 meters above sea level. The mild winters and optimal exposure are combined with soil rich in sea fossils, dating back to the Pliocene era, a time when salted lakes covered the entire valley. Native vines, such as Sangiovese, in addition to other vines of the “Tuscan tradition” such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, coexist today,  giving their best expressions.
