The story
The historic property of the borgo Il Borro was acquired by the Ferragamo family. The project to revive and modernize agricultural and winemaking activities began in the 1990s, with studies of the territory and the planting of new vineyards. In subsequent years the estate developed to include widespread hospitality, dining and organic-certified agricultural production.
Production philosophy
Sustainability- and biodiversity-oriented approach: extensive organic farming, promotion of the local area through local products and a wine tourism offering based on the farm-to-table concept.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate is located in Valdarno di Sopra, in the province of Arezzo. The vineyards sit between 300 and 500 meters above sea level; the landscape includes vineyards, olive groves, arable land and woodland areas that contribute to the estate's biodiversity.
