Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are all geared up for their Italian wedding and the destination venue in itself is a place to remember.
Three years prior, in a meeting with Harper's Bazaar Bride, Anushka Sharma said that if she somehow managed to have a goal wedding, it would be in 'some place like a vineyard maybe'. In 2017, as she and Indian captain Virat Kohli are good to go to get married, Sharma has ensured vineyards are a major piece of her wedding function.
The couple, alongside their particular families, took off to Italy in the small hours of Friday. While the underlying hypothesis was that Kohli and Sharma were getting hitched in Milan, appears as though they are most certainly not. Their huge day is occurring only barely four hours south of Milan, in a notable property called Borgo Finocchieto in Tuscany, South Italy.
WHERE IS BORGO FINOCCHIETO?
Borgo Finocchieto in Buoncovento is about an hour from the city of Tuscany and is known for its celebrity-endorsed resort. The property 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. The owner of the Borgo bought the property in 2001, and is said to have spent eight years restoring the 13th Century village and giving it its present look.
At once, the resort can accommodate 44 people in 22 rooms. That might explain why most of Virat and Anushka's friends had to be left behind in India, waiting for a wedding reception in Mumbai on probably December 26. Borgo Finocchieto is at a distance of 34 kms from the Italian station of Siena and 2 kms from the Bibbiano Castle. Florence is an hour's drive from the place, and Rome is two-and-a-half hours away. Borgo Finocchieto sits right next to Italy's wine capital, Montalcino. Anushka's vineyard wedding done right, we say!
