✨ 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.
🍾 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.
