Aside from the splendor central to the whole of Borgo Syrah, Tuscany imparts a charm all its own. Comprising ten alluring provinces, the region invites exploration of all it has to offer.
Its art and history spans the work of the early Etruscans all the way to the height of its Golden Age, an era which produced the likes of Michelangelo, da Vinci and the de Medicis. The region also is notable for producing writers, scientists, architects, musicians and artists, all of whom have placed their stamp on the world, as evidenced by the inventive experiments of Galileo, the grandeur of a Puccini opera, and the literary world of Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio. From the Etruscan theater and Roman baths at Fiesole, to the Gothic architecture of Siena, and the innumerable sites of Florence, every excursion here reveals a glimpse of history.
Cortona, itself, the home of Borgo Syrah, is poised for greater identification as the centre for the good life, as a result of expansion projects in this area of Tuscany. At Borgo Syrah alone, with the production of premium wines, the various expressions of Contemporary Art, and the development of village of wine enthusiasts, an extraordinary transformation is taking place, one in which high-quality wine production melds with superb relaxation and leisure facilities.
