Description
History
The Cavallini family founded Il Borghetto, a small artisan cellar specializing in organic and biodynamic Sangiovese, in 1999. Located near the village of Montefiridolfi, in San Casciano VP, in the province of Florence, the property extends over 30 hectares of land, including woods, olive groves, vegetable gardens and a vineyard, and includes the historic Etruscan Tomb of the Archer (dating back to the 7th century BC). The winery is located on two hills, overlooking the Val di Pesa, at the northern end of the prestigious Chianti Classico appellation.
