On Friday, November 8th, Osteria Fiorella hosted a wine dinner centered around IL Borro wines. The dinner was led by part estate owner Salvatore Ferragamo, whose family acquired the vineyard in 1993. The family is known primarily for its fashion empire, which provides luxury goods such as iconic signature loafers, accessories, and clothing lines. However, they had always held an affinity for wine and the process of growing the perfectly balanced grape, which led them to another passion for developing and cultivating quality wines in IL Borro, Tuscany.
Salvatore Ferragamo had flown to Las Vegas to guide the diners through various vintages and styles of wine, all while accompanying a specially curated menu to pair with each glass. A chicory pomegranate salad with orange ricotta and roasted pears was paired with the Bolle di Borro sparkling rose. This fitting dish would prepare and awaken their guest’s palate for every other savory dish that followed. Another dish featured was the Tuscan kale ribolitta with sausage ragu and bolognese paired with Pain si Nova Rosso. The sauce was well-balanced and not too heavy, complementing the light wine. A slow braised short rib with taleggio polenta, carrots, and veal demi glaze, paired with IL Borro’s 20th anniversary—a heavy, dark, beautiful pairing. A Dolci Torta alla Ann paired with Vin Santo was provided to conclude the dinner. It was a favorite combination by many who attended. One guest even commented, “Delicate and satisfying.”

Is Il Borro owned by Ferragamo?
In 1993, Il Borro became property of the Ferragamo family who had fallen in love with the wild nature of the area and the history of the estate.
What does Il Borro mean in english?
The term “Il Borro” is actually a Tuscan word (not Italian) that refers to a ravine. Since the ancient medieval hamlet located on the Il Borro estate is surrounded by a ravine on all sides………it only makes sense that this beautiful location has adopted this name as a specific geographic identifier to its location.
