The Domain: The historic Tenuta di San Fabiano, owned by the Counts Borghini Baldovinetti de' Bacci, begins one kilometer from the city walls of Arezzo on the surrounding hills. It extends over the slopes of Casentino, to the north-east of the city. The current settlement of the Farm is located on the ancient sea route that brought foodstuffs from the Adriatic, crossing the entire Valley and then over the Casentino mountains, to reach Arezzo.
This Valley has been under the feudal control of several historic families of Arezzo, including the Bacci.
You can still see today along this road that reaches the city walls, the watchtowers and customs towers that indicate its commercial and strategic importance. The first document that proves the existence of vineyards on the property dates back to 1416, it is the sale of a vineyard by Francesco de' Bacci to finance the frescoes of the Family Chapel by Piero della Francesca.
