THE STORY
Empower
Growth
The estate, known as Il Forno, emerges from the lush Tuscan countryside, spanning 370 acres teeming with diverse wildlife. Transferred from the Monastero Santa Scolastica Roma in the late 1970s, ownership of the estate shifted to the Baldi Stefanini family. Situated 900 meters (3,300 feet) above sea level in the Apennine Mountains of Tuscany, just north of Florence, Il Forno remains an untouched natural sanctuary, ensconced within verdant forests and meadows on the slopes of Alto Mugello.

Carefully monitored for sustainability, we are committed to preserving this precious resource, ensuring its refreshing purity remains intact. With a legacy of over two centuries of uninterrupted flow, our spring water stands as a symbol of lasting excellence
