Imagine an exclusive luxury villa, in one of seven eighteenth century properties, perched amid the rolling hills of a region somewhere along the Italian countryside, then add in fractional ownership of the vineyard which rests on the sprawling estate of the prestigious Tenimenti d’Alessandro winery. Sound enticing? This is what investment in Borgo Syrah delivers. To enhance the appeal even more, let’s make the region Tuscany, one in which history, art and culture convene to form a rich backdrop to every vacationer’s sojourn. Now that’s ideal.
Characterized by the charm you would come to expect in villa ownership, the buildings of Borgo Syrah, which reside on the vineyard’s extensive grounds, comprise a farmhouse and its related outbuildings, all part and parcel of an ages-old farm that later was utilized to complement the workings of the winery. Today these seven properties encompass the bulk of the resort, which has been transformed into several private well-appointed apartments and three magnificent country houses, all of which feature fractional vineyard ownership. Each dwelling consists of a blend of the rustic and the contemporary, custom designed by one of Italy’s premier designers who also happens to be a co-owner of the winery. This fact alone signifies the level of attention relegated to the design and restoration of the property.
Aside from the land’s rich history and the beauty of the surrounding countryside, the appeal of Borgo Syrah rests in the private ownership of a Tuscan villa. Whether the attraction lures you toward a luxury apartment or one of the select country houses, each residence occupies an incomparable view facing an expanse of the estate, be it rows of grape vines, a copse of olive groves, tranquil gardens, or clusters of centuries-old trees. To further enchant, the living quarters share an abundance of material expressive of the area, such as terracotta tiled floors, traditional stone and brick work, and, in select quarters, period frescoes.
