✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic estates of the Marchesi Frescobaldi, a family whose winemaking legacy in Tuscany spans over seven hundred years and once supplied wine to Renaissance artists and European royalty, Campone represents a classic expression of Sangiovese from the prestigious Montalcino territory. Sourced from vineyards characterized by galestro soils and excellent sun exposure, this red wine is crafted to showcase the vibrant, fruit-forward elegance of the region. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel and aged systematically to preserve its bright cherry and wild berry aromas, Campone balances traditional Tuscan structure with an approachable, velvety texture, offering a window into the soul of Montalcino's terroir without requiring decades of cellaring.
🍾 About the Producer
Tracing its viticultural origins to 1308, Marchesi Frescobaldi is an iconic Florentine noble dynasty that has shaped Tuscan winemaking across thirty generations. Spanning celebrated historical holdings—including Castello Nipozzano in Chianti Rùfina, Castello Pomino, Tenuta Castiglioni, CastelGiocondo in Montalcino, and the social viticulture initiative on the penal island of Gorgona—the family stewards diverse terroirs ranging from galestro-rich hills to cool-climate Apennine elevations. Frescobaldi practices certified sustainable viticulture under Tuscany's AgriQualità protocol, tailoring canopy management and soil stewardship to site-specific conditions. In the cellar, their philosophy honors regional typicity while embracing technical precision, vinifying with calibrated temperature control and aging across fine-grained oak barriques and traditional casks. The portfolio showcases an expansive spectrum of expressions: high-elevation Chardonnay and Pinot Nero in the pioneering Pomino Benefizio Riserva and Leonia Brut sparkling wines, mineral-driven Ansonica-Vermentino field blends from Gorgona, alongside age-worthy, structured Sangiovese icons such as Nipozzano Riserva and CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino.
