The Frescobaldi family carries a legendary winemaking legacy in Tuscany spanning over thirty generations and seven hundred years, once supplying wine to Renaissance masters like Michelangelo and the royal courts of Europe. 'Sentieri'—meaning 'paths'—invites wine lovers to journey through the rolling hills and historic estates of the Tuscan countryside. This expressive red wine is crafted primarily from Sangiovese, the signature grape of the region, often complemented by small portions of complementary red varieties. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve its bright, fruit-forward character, it is aged gently to maintain its vibrant acidity, soft tannins, and classic Tuscan charm. The nose reveals wild berries, red cherries, and subtle herbal undertones, reflecting the wild, sun-drenched pathways of its homeland.
