Bornorli IGT Toscana Rosso Next to the vineyard, you can still see the Bonorli spring that gives the name to the estate. In the past, springs were very important in Chianti, where, due to the conformation of the land, it was not easy to find spring water.

The Verdians were the last peasant family to live on the estate in the late1960s.
