Il Borro

The Best Tuscan Wineries to Visit Near Florence, Italy

"Restored by the Ferragamo family beginning in 1993, this fully rebuilt medieval borgo sits amid more than 1,100 hectares of organic farmland where vines sit alongside vegetable gardens, fruit trees, beehives, cheese production and free-range eggs. Wine production ranges from top-notch Valdarno di Sopra DOC reds (Sangiovese and international varieties) to whites and an impressive sparkling rosé, Bolle di Borro; a standout bottle to sample is the Petruna, a 100% Sangiovese. The village itself houses 38 suites, artisan shops and several restaurants—from a casual poolside pizzeria to an elegant flagship osteria—while chef Andrea Campani sources estate produce for precise, seasonally driven dishes; booking a cooking class with his team is highly recommended." - Federico De Cesare Viola
