Tenuta Ammiraglia. Maremma, Magliano in Toscana, Grosseto 
 Lately, several wine producers have built cellars deep underground as temperatures are better monitored in such conditions. At Tenuta Ammiraglia, it looks as if the architect Piero Sartogo raised a strip of land to open a thin and long slit in the natural slope of the earth. For over seven centuries, Marchesi de 'Frescobaldi has been the symbol of wine production in Tuscany. Suffice it to say that their wines filled the glasses of the greatest Renaissance artists such as Donatello, and reached the tables of the Papal Court of Leo X and King of England Henry VIII. Tenuta Ammiraglia is open to visits and tastings and it is also possible to organize lunches, aperitifs and events upon reservation.

Il Borro. San Giustino Valdarno, Arezzo
 Immersed in an area rich in art and culture located between Florence, Arezzo and Siena, Il Borro represents a wide-open window on history. The origins of the borgo of Il Borro date back to the Tuscan Middle Ages. The Medici, the Savoys, and nowadays the haute couture family represented by Ferruccio Ferragamo and his sons have safeguarded its preciousness, keeping its charm intact and transforming the estate into an oasis strongly dedicated to respecting the environment. The estate covers an area of 1100 hectares, 85 of which are dedicated to viticulture. After a meticulous and conservative restoration of the medieval borgo, the nineteenth-century villa and the centuries-old cellar, Il Borro is today a luxury travel destination. The new cellar was designed by architect Elio Lazzarini and is perfectly harmonized with the existing structures.
