Together, you will walk through a tasting journey of three unique wines from the Il Borro estate, the history of the estate, and techniques behind each bottle’s production, and how they pair with your curated meal. Not only will you learn how to perfectly pair each selection through your meal, but you’ll also learn directly from one of the most storied families in Italian wine.
About Il Borro Toscana: The name of the estate, Il Borro, derives from the Tuscan word gorge. In 1255 the mayor of Arezzo, Borro Borri, purchased the fortress which continues to bear his name. From 1766, Il Borro passed through the hands of some of the most noble families in Europe such as the Medici family and the House of Savoy. Since 1993 Ferruccio Ferragamo, together with his son Salvatore and daughter Vittoria, have been responsible for conserving The Il Borro estate's historical heritage as well as converting all agricultural farming practice to organic farming, producing world class wines with a unique concept of terroir. The unique climate and terroir, mild winters and optimal exposure of the vineyards -placed on the hills of the Valdarno -results in the creation of fine quality wines with a strong territorial identity and produced by traditional methods. The grape varieties featured in this territory include Sangiovese, Chardonnay, merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
