We are happy to introduce you the Azienda Agricola Il Borghetto.

The Bed & Breakfast “Il Borghetto Winery” is located in Montefiridolfi, on the Chianti hills, close to San Casciano Val di Pesa (12 km from Florence and 40 km from Siena). At 5 minutes walk from the Inn, strolling through the olive groves up the hill, you will arrive at The Etruscan Tomb of the Archer (VII century B.C.). Parts of the Stele picturing the Archer that was found in the Tomb has been transferred to the Archaeological Museum in San Casciano Val di Pesa.

It is possible to visit the Winery and sample some of the wines, we offer our Extra Virgin Olive Oil tasting and workshop, and Cooking Courses are organized on request.

The Etruscan Tomb of the ArcherThe Etruscan Tomb of the Archer is located in the property olivegrove upon a hill. The Tomb dates back to the 7th century B.C. It was discovered in 1978 by a farmer working the field. It was excavated and restored by the Sovrintendenza Archeologica (the State Bureau of Archaeology). During excavation of the site, the lower part of a large stele with a bas-relief of a male figure armed with a large bow and striding to the right, was found lying between the doorposts of the tomb. Judging from the size of the piece found and the proportions of the human figure, the stele was at least 11 ½ feet tall. Visible even from a great distance and dominating a large part of the surrounding valley, it must surely have been the memorial celebrating an Etruscan Prince.The Stele of the Archer was first transferred to the Museo Archeologico di Firenze, and today is situated in San Casciano Val di Pesa at the Museum of Sacred Art.

VineyardsWe started to plant new wineyards in 1999 and we produced our first bottle of wine in 2003. As we liter- ally started from the ground up we have been able to tailor the winemaking to the most important thing of all, the wineyards. The grape varieties planted on the six or so hectares of vineyards are for the most part Sangiovese, with a small percentage of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. We do organic agriculture for the Vineyard, the Olive Grove, our Fruit Trees and Vegetable and Flower Garden. There are about twenty or so small blocks of Vineyard at Il Borghetto, each differing slightly from the other, be it in grape variety or clone, or a difference in soil type and slope aspect. We treat each one as a separate entity so that their individual characters can contribute a particular something to the final blend. To that extent we ferment, press, rack and barrel-down each vineyard block separately.

Bilaccio IGP100% Sangiovese. 16 to 20 months oak ageing. At least 6 months bottle ageing prior to release. Around 7000 bottles made.

Once our Sangiovese has aged for at least 14months, a first selection is made of wine made exclusively from grapes grown here, at Borghetto. The Sangiovese selected eventually becomes Bilaccio and arrives from all four corners of the estate.

EccellenzaI vini d’Italia 2014

Clante IGP100% Sangiovese. 20 to 24 months oak ageing. Up to 12 months bottle ageing prior to release. 1900 bottles made.

Clante is the name the Etrus-cans gave to the hills we now call Chianti Classico. Clante is the peak of production at Bor-ghettto, whose vineyards lie within the boundaries of the modern-day Chianti Classico area of production. Clante is a barrel selection of a barrel selection of the finest of Bor-ghetto’s Sangiovese.

Rosie IGP40% Cabernet Sauvignon; 40% Merlot; 20% Sangiovese. 20 to 24 months ageing in oak. Up to 12 months bottle ageing prior to release. 1400 bottles made.

Although our main focus at Borghetto is on Sangiovese, we are lucky to have some small vineyards of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Rosie is a riserve wine, similar in idea to Clante, created from our very best Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and a single, Clante-selected barrel of Sangiovese.

Collina 21 IGPA blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. Upto 18 months ageing in oak. At least 6 months bottle age prior to release. Around 7000 bottles made.

The percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and San-giovese making up the blend in Collina change slightly from year-to-year to enable us to make a soft, perfumed and easy-drinking wine.

Monte de Sassi Chianti Classico80% Sangiovese; 20% Blend of other varieties. Around 18 months ageing in oak. At least 6 months bottle age prior to release. Around 3500 bottles made.

It would be difficult to grow grapes in Chianti Classico and not make a DOCG wine.To that end, we keep with tra-dition and make a barrel-aged Chianti Classico from the mandatory minimum of 80% Sangiovese, blended with Cab-ernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cannaiolo grown here at Bor-ghetto.

Montigiano IGP100% Sangiovese. 12 months ageing in cement vats and oak. 3 months bottle ageing prior to release. Around 13.000 bottles made.

Montigiano is a new depar-ture for Borghetto. Our first wine made from non-es-tate grapes. We are working closely with the neighbour-ing growers who supply us, to ensure that the grapes that go into making Montigiano are of the quality expected at Borghetto.

Winery and Wine Tasting

The Azienda Agricola Il Borghetto produces now seven red wines: five IGP (Indicazione Geografica Pro-tetta) Toscana, one Chianti Classico d.o.c.g and one Chianti Classico Riserva d.o.c.g. Bilaccio IGP and Clante IGP are made entirely from Sangiovese. We believe this indigenous Tuscan variety can stand alone and produce great wines without the need to blend with other varieties.

We offer a comprehensive Wine-Tasting, with a tour of the vineyards and cellar and an explanation of the winemaking process from grape-growing to bottling, culminating in a relaxed tasting of the current releases. The tastings are conducted by the producer himself, Antonio Cavallini.

The wines of Il Borghetto are available directly at the Azienda. At the moment we export our wines in Australia, Denmark, Japan, Singapore, UK and USA.

Make your own 3 lt. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The production of olive oil has a long history in Tuscany and in Italy. Today regional differ-ences in the production’s procedure determine the differences in taste, colour, smell and aroma. The richness has to be found in these differences. Tuscan extra virgin olive oil has a particular taste and colour. The olive picking is done from the end of October to the beginning of December. It’s during this period that we invite you to come to Make your own Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

The program consists of: *a brief lesson on the olive growth in Tuscany*olive picking and visit at the oil mill *designing of a personal olive oil label *massages with olive oil *dinners and lunches *cultural and gastronomic itineraries *extra virgin olive oil cooking course
