The family
The Beginning of a Dream
Ferruccio Ferragamo was just six years old when his parents purchased an agricultural estate in the Valdarno. Growing up in the shadow of the Pratomagno mountains, immersed in authentic rural traditions and the rhythms of nature, he quickly developed a deep love for the countryside and for hunting. It was during a hunt in 1985 that Ferruccio first discovered and fell in love with Il Borro, then owned by Duke Amedeo of Aosta. In 1993, he decided to acquire the estate. Since then, with passion and dedication, he has brought to life a remarkable restoration project that has transformed Il Borro into a place of excellence, where history, hospitality, winemaking, and sustainability come together.
A Growing Legacy
Today, Il Borro looks to the future with renewed energy, led by Salvatore and Vittoria Ferragamo, Ferruccio’s children, who share their father’s vision and honour the spirit of the place, with a focus on the present. Together, they embody continuity with a fresh perspective, while strengthening the bond between Il Borro, its heritage, and a world in constant evolution.

Salvatore Ferragamo leads the company’s strategic direction with a special focus on the development of Il Borro’s wine project. Since 2011, he has been one of the founding members of the Valdarno di Sopra DOC appellation and its Consortium for Protection, where in 2022 he was appointed to the Board of Directors. Today, he serves as Brand Ambassador for the wine labels of both Il Borro and Pinino, representing the estates’ wines in Italy and around the world.
Vittoria Ferragamo
HEAD OF SUSTAINABILITY
Vittoria Ferragamo is the most dedicated voice when it comes to sustainability and the connection to the land.
