Producer Information
Marchesi (de’) Frescobaldi is a historic Italian wine producer located in Tuscany. It has several estates spread throughout the region, including in the Chianti Rufina, Montalcino, Pomino, Colli Fiorentini and Maremma DOC and DOCG zones. Marchesi Frescobaldi produces a large portfolio of wines. From the region’s flagship variety Sangiovese to more international grapes like Chardonnay in a wide range of styles. The history of Frescobaldi dates back to the early 1300s, when the family began making wine at Tenuta di Castigliona, southwest of Florence. It became famous in the 1400s for supplying wines to Renaissance artists like Donatello, and Frescobaldi wines were served to the Papal Court and the English Court of King Henry VIII. Now, Frescobaldi manages seven estates throughout Tuscany: Castello di Nipozzano, Castello di Pomino, Rèmole, Tenuta Perano, Tenuta di Castelgiocondo, Tenuta di Castiglioni and Tenuta dell’Ammiraglia. Castello di Nipozzano, in the heart of Chianti Rufina, is the oldest of the estates. It is located on the mountainous side of the region, overlooking the Arno river, and is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, making a Super Tuscan wine called Moromoreto. This estate also provides Frescobaldi with its Chianti Rufina wines. The Castelgiocondo site, in Montalcino, has been producing Frescobaldi’s Brunello di Montalcino wines since the 19th Century. On top of this, Frescobaldi has explored into alternative terroirs. Castello di Pomino is based in the Apennine mountains to the east of Florence, making wine from some of Tuscany’s highest vineyards. Most recently, Frescobaldi has begun collaborating with the penal authorities on the island of Gorgonas, making a Vermentino and Ansonica blend with the help of the local prisoners.
