Frescobaldi
Frescobaldi reflects Tuscany's best terroirs, producing exceptional Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and Super Tuscan blends across unique estates.
Frescobaldi, a name synonymous with Tuscan wine, has been producing wine for over seven centuries. Beginning in the early 1300s, the Frescobaldi family established themselves as major figures in European winemaking and commerce, supplying wines to notable courts including England and the Papal Court in Rome. Today, Lamberto Frescobaldi, as President, leads the estate’s operations with a commitment to preserving the family’s rich legacy. The estates under Frescobaldi’s management include some of Tuscany's most famous, such as Castello Nipozzano, CastelGiocondo, and Tenuta Ammiraglia.
The viticulture and winemaking at Frescobaldi are renowned for their deep connection to Tuscany’s terroir and the diversity of the estates they manage. Each estate’s unique soil, microclimate, and heritage contribute to the character of their wines. Whether it’s a Chianti Classico Riserva, Brunello di Montalcino, or the Super Tuscan blends, the family’s dedication to traditional practices blended with modern techniques has kept Frescobaldi at the forefront of fine winemaking. Their innovative approaches, such as experimenting with native grape varieties and modernising fermentation techniques, set them apart in the industry.
Frescobaldi is deeply committed to sustainability and environmental stewardship. They have implemented numerous initiatives aimed at reducing their environmental impact, including reducing energy and water consumption in their winemaking processes. They have introduced lighter, more sustainable glass bottles to lower emissions, and reuse organic waste to produce fertiliser. These practices contribute to a significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and support their goal of sustainable, responsible winemaking, ensuring the preservation of Tuscany’s natural beauty for future generations.
