TOSCANA welcomes Salvatore Ferragamo, grandson of the iconic luxury fashion designer and proprietor of the family’s wine estate, for the Il Borro Wine Dinner on Tuesday, October 3, 2017. Ferragamo and his wife Christine will be present to introduce his wines from the exceptional estate in Tuscany, Italy. The five-course menu by Executive Chef Hugo Vasquez will be matched with a variety of wines from Il Borro, consisting of Sangiovese, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet and Syrah grapes. The wines are chosen to demonstrate the breadth and depth of the Il Borro portfolio and will offer something for everyone and every occasion.

ABOUT IL BORRO:

The Ferragamo family began restoration of Il Borro shortly after acquiring the medieval Tuscan estate in 1993. Since then, Salvatore Ferragamo has restored Il Borro’s historic detail and brought the estate back to life in a new era. In 1996, the vineyards were replanted by Salvatore and Ferruccio Ferragamo and today, a tour of the Il Borro Cellars is a journey to the heart of Tuscan wine-making tradition. Il Borro boasts one of the oldest cellars in Italy where the first ever Chianti wine was produced and the magic of winemaking continues with passion and commitment.
