Tenuta Castiglioni is one of the oldest property of the Frescobaldi family, the first historical document that attests to its existence dates back to 1092, while Berto Frescobaldi's will of 1331 is defined as "land with a vineyard on the property. Other news on the estate date back to 1509, as shown in the map painted by Ludovico Buti, now kept in the Uffizi Gallery. Located in Val di Pesa in the Chianti Colli Fiorentini, has a soil rich in clay and other morphological features that provide significant water retention, allowing the vine to be free from drought and the grapes to ripen evenly.
