    Portrait of Francesco Borghi

    i. Biography

    Borgo Schiavin and Fato 1734 read like working marks of origin: a place, a holding, and a Prosecco practice that stays close to the land it comes from.

    The Climb

    Since 1993, the estate has been under the direction of Francesco Borghi as owner and head of the farm at Azienda Agricola Borgo Schiavin Prosecco Fato 1734. That kind of continuity matters in vineyard work: it lets a place develop on its own terms, with the farm’s identity built year by year rather than reset by fashion. In Mondragon di Arfanta, within Tarzo, Italy, the work sits inside a landscape with its own cadence, and the task has been to keep the estate aligned with it. The name Azienda Agricola Borgo Schiavin Prosecco Fato 1734 gathers agriculture, locality, and Prosecco into one operating frame.

    Today

    The current role remains owner and head of the farm, and that steadiness is part of the practice itself. At Mondragon di Arfanta in Tarzo, Italy, the work is still defined by Prosecco, with the estate names Borgo Schiavin and Fato 1734 functioning as clear markers of identity. The structure is direct: farm, place, and category stay in view at once, and Francesco Borghi’s role is to hold those elements together without losing the line back to the land.
