The Vineyard
The winery at Borgo Syrah is the prestigious Tenimenti d’Alessandro, a company which has garnered tremendous praise for the production of fine wines, particularly the notable Il Bosco. For the company’s owners – Massimo d’Alessandro and Pino Calabresi – the production of their renowned wines is by no means a small measure of achievement. There is no doubt Tenimenti d’Alessandro has been influential in the evolution of winemaking in the Cortona region. While neighboring estates also produce fine Syrah, Tenimenti d’Alessandro outpaced the Cortona market, with prior vintages of the Il Bosco label consistently selling out. While tendering a nod to the superiority of Tuscan Syrah, Suckling has proffered generous acclaim for how the Il Bosco shows, stating in 2008 that it reminded him of “some of the great Syrahs from the Northern Rhône.” Just recently, James Sucking named the Migliara Syrah as one of only 12 collectible Tuscan wines. This continuous recognition of the wines being produced at Tenimenti d’Alessandro brings an even stronger appeal to property ownership at this world famous vineyard.
The partnership between these two aficionados have formed in Borgo Syrah an extraordinary retreat from the stresses of everyday life. Out of pastoral Tuscan farmland they have formed a village, one that is both architectural haven and functional vineyard, where a community of owners, sharing a similar passion for wine, beauty, and all things Italian, can seek a lingering pace, one which warrants casual exploration and peaceful relaxation, one which begs a glass of wine or two as evening settles in over a spectacular stretch of rich countryside, magnificent accommodations, and a remarkable vineyard. This is how one makes a lifelong investment memorable.
