✨ Technical Specifications
The Frescobaldi family has been deeply intertwined with the history of Tuscan winemaking for over seven hundred years, famously trading wine for art with Renaissance masters like Donatello and supplying the royal courts of Europe. A Frescobaldi 'Riserva' represents the pinnacle of this enduring legacy, typically drawing from their historic estates such as Castello di Nipozzano in Chianti Rufina or CastelGiocondo in Montalcino. Crafted predominantly from the noble Sangiovese grape, often complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or traditional Tuscan blending partners, these wines undergo extended aging in oak barrels to develop complexity and structure. The terroir—characterized by high-altitude vineyards, clay-limestone soils, and dry, breezy microclimates—imparts a signature vibrant acidity, firm tannins, and deep notes of dark cherry, wild herbs, and elegant spice.
