Three years ago, in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar Bride, Bollywood diva Anushka Sharma said that her favorite destination wedding would be in ‘somewhere like a vineyard perhaps’. In 2017, as she and Indian captain Virat Kohli are all set to get married, Sharma has made sure vineyards are a big part of her wedding ceremony.
The beautiful couple, along with their respective families, flew to Italy in the late night on Friday. While the initial rumors suggested that Kohli and Sharma were getting married in Milan, seems like they are not. As per the reports of India Today, their big day is taking place just a little over four hours south of Milan, in a historic property called Borgo Finocchieto in Tuscany, South Italy.
Borgo Finocchieto in Buoncovento is about an hour drive from the city of Tuscany and is known for its celebrity-endorsed resort. The lavish location is a restored 13th Century village that has five villas. The word ‘borgo’ is Italian for ‘village’. ‘Finochietto’ in Italian means an orchard, or fields, of fennel.
At once, the resort can arrange accommodation for 44 people in 22 rooms. That might explain why most of Virat and Anushka’s friends will be waiting for a wedding reception in Mumbai on probably December 26.Borgo Finocchieto sits right next to Italy’s wine capital, Montalcino. Anushka’s dream of vineyard wedding surely seems to be coming true.
The Borgo Finocchieto one of most exclusive Wedding destinations in Italy. The place promises to give once in a lifetime experience and something to remember for a wedding. They are famous for their rolling lawns, wine-tasting rooms, and a gazebo. It comprises of five independent and luxurious buildings, air-conditioned to make sure the heat of South Italy doesn’t bother you. The villas are named Finocchieto, Colussi, Filippi, Santa Teresa and Fede.
If the reports are believed to be true then the Borgo Finocchieto is completely booked until December 13, by when Virat and Anushka are expected to get hitched. Sachin Tendulkar, Aamir Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan are among the very few people expected to be there.
For the next few days, a private security group around has been hired at the location to keep unwanted people out. A team of bhangra dancers have arrived and are staying in nearby Bibbiano. Sangeet and other Punjabi wedding ceremonies are on. A charming little village in Tuscany is getting a taste of Punjab. It sure will be ne of the most exotics weddings of the century.
