Luxury Skincare and Truffle Foraging Expedition: A Peek into Three Exclusive Experiences
In the heart of Tuscany, Italy, lies Borgo Santo Pietro, a 120-hectare historic estate that is home to one of the most luxurious hotels in the region, owned and operated by Claus and Jeanette Thottrup. The hotel, which opened in 2008, boasts an organic farm, spa, winery, and a renowned restaurant, making it a haven for those seeking a truly immersive Italian experience.
The hotel is also renowned for its elite skincare line, Seed To Skin Tuscany, which draws on the natural resources of the Tuscan countryside. This skincare line can be customized to meet individual requirements for maximum effectiveness, supercharging the skin of each customer.
Meanwhile, in the world of wine, the Allegrini family, a legendary Italian winemaker family, has struck out on a new venture. One of its members has pioneered a new roster of wines, and the interest in these new creations is growing. Mark Ellwood, editor-at-large of a luxury travel website, has a particular interest in the Allegrini family's new roster of wines.
For those eager to learn more about these new wines firsthand, The Vault is offering a getaway. This spectacular experience includes a three-night trip that offers the opportunity to forage for white truffles, a rare delicacy found in limited locations worldwide, and watch a soccer game in both Piedmont and Parma, Italy. The Italian soccer league, Serie A, is renowned for its exceptional athleticism.
The Allegrini family is particularly known for their wine, Amarone, and they are pioneers in the appassimento technique, where grapes are dried before fermentation. This unique process contributes to the rich, full-bodied flavour of their wines, making them a must-try for any wine enthusiast.
The Tuscan countryside has historically inspired many artists, including da Vinci and Botticelli, and a visit to this region offers a chance to immerse oneself in the beauty and culture that has influenced these great artists for centuries. Whether you're a wine lover, a skincare aficionado, or simply seeking a luxurious getaway, Borgo Santo Pietro and The Vault's offerings are not to be missed.
