Villa Pignano a Borgo Pignano

Behind this village is a great British entrepreneur, Michael Moritz, a gentleman who regularly appears on Forbes’ charts. Bewitched by this corner of Tuscany, he remodeled a seventeenth century villa and turned it into a luxury resort with a big farm attached.

The estate includes 350 hectares of woods, fields, orchards, vineyards and gardens, all organic and biodynamic. Chef Vincenzo Martella brings out the best in this bounty of goods. The Seared cuttlefish with creamed bread and pecorino, sea urchin and fresh fava beans; and the Stuffed bottoni with garlic, chili and olive oil with seared baby squid, parsley sauce and cheese, are both excellent.
