Tenuta Castiglioni is the historic heart of the Frescobaldi family's winemaking heritage, where their agricultural legacy began in the 11th century. Situated in the rolling hills of Montespertoli, southwest of Florence, the estate benefits from a warm microclimate and rich clay-limestone soils. Chianti Castiglioni is a vibrant, modern expression of Tuscan tradition, crafted primarily from Sangiovese with a small addition of Merlot. To preserve its lively fruit character and bright ruby color, the wine undergoes fermentation and brief aging in stainless steel tanks. This approach highlights the classic aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and subtle floral notes, embodying the joyful, approachable side of Chianti.
