✨ Technical Specifications
The Frescobaldi family represents over 700 years of Tuscan winemaking history, once supplying wine to the Renaissance courts of Europe and legendary artists like Michelangelo. Their Rosso expression is a vibrant tribute to this rich heritage, crafted as an approachable, everyday celebration of Tuscan terroir. Typically dominated by Sangiovese and complemented by small portions of Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, this red wine is sourced from family-owned estates across Tuscany. It is vinified primarily in stainless steel and neutral vessels to preserve its bright, fruit-forward character. Drinkers can expect a lively profile of red cherries, wild berries, and subtle Mediterranean herbs, backed by the characteristic refreshing acidity of the region.
