MORE ABOUT IL BORRO TOSCANA

Established more than one thousand years ago, Il Borro Toscana has ancient origins, now lost in the mists of time. In the 1950s, Il Borro Tosacana belonged to Prince Amedeo, Duke of Savoy-Aosta, and in 1993 the Duke sold the entire property to Ferruccio Ferragamo.

Ferruccio Ferragamo, aided by his son Salvatore Ferragamo, began extensive restoration and refurbishment of the estate, preserving its traditions and history while embracing modern innovations that make it a perfect continuum between past, present and future.

Il Borro Toscana is located about 45 minutes south of Florence within the Valdarno Valley of Tuscany (Valdarno di Sopra D.O.C). This designation was one of the original four wine appellations within Tuscany recognized by Cosimo de' Medici III. Today, Valdarno di Sopra D.O.C. is working toward becoming the very first Italian wine denomination requiring organic production.

At Il Borro Toscana, the conversion to organic farming began with the 2015 vintage and all the wines produced on the Il Borro Toscana estate are now exclusively made with certified organically grown grapes.
