"You can't talk about fashion without a mention of luxury brand Salvatore Ferragamo, one of Italy's most storied fashion houses. The founder's son and current company president, Ferruccio, bought Il Borro-a 1,700-acre property that includes a medieval village and a castle dating back to 1254, in the heart of Tuscany - in 1993. Extensive renovations restored the property back to its original splendor. Today, under the direction of Ferruccio's son, Salvatore, the firm turns out polished wines that boast structure and finesse." - Wine Enthusiast.
