Frescobaldi
For centuries, Frescobaldi has been an established name in Tuscany. The family was initially known as a wealthy banker family with a large cultural and political network. The Frescobaldis have been producing wine in the Tuscany region for seven hundred years. This began in the historic Tenuta di Castiglioni. This was the family's first winery. The estate is located in Val di Pesa, south-west of Florence. The Castiglioni estate was built in 1300 and has been owned by the Frescobaldi family ever since. The winery supplied the papal court of Rome and the royal court of England, among others.
In 1855, the family planted the Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Nero, Chardonnay and Merlot grape varieties, which was still unusual in Italy at the time. This later turned out to be a real success! Frescobaldi owns eight wineries throughout the region. The area of the vineyards amounts to a total of 1.200 hectares. The Frescobaldis are also found on the prison island of Gorgona. Here, they teach the prisoners the trade of wine.
The vineyards of Castello di Pomino are the highest of all the cellars owned by the Frescobaldi with an altitude of 750 meters. Castel Giocondo produces the best Brunello wines ever and Castello di Nipozzano is known for its Montesodi cuvée. This shows that each winery has its own unique characteristics. Every single wine is characterized by a constant quality.
All estates and vineyards are sustainably maintained. In addition, the bottles used are new and more ecological. These bottles need less glass, reduce energy and water consumption during their production and, thanks to their low weight, emit less CO2 during transport. With an annual production of 19 million bottles, the expected CO2 reduction is 350 tons per year.
Tiziana, Lamberto and Diana Frescobaldi are the thirtieth generation at the head of all these wineries. Since 1990, Nicolò d'Afflito has been responsible for winemaking. Together, they provide wines that are some of the best in the world.
