For more than 700 years, it has embodied the essence of Tuscany, characterised by an extraordinary vocation for viticulture and the diversity of its territories.
Indeed, Frescobaldi's philosophy is to represent the uniqueness of the oenological tradition of this splendid region through its estates and wines. From Brunello di Montalcino to Chianti Classico to Morellino di Scansano, Frescobaldi products express a kaleidoscope of aromas and sensations.
The secret ingredients of Frescobaldi wines have never changed: the know-how and passion of the people, expert agronomists and oenologists who live the vineyard and the terroir to capture every detail still remain.
"Our family's dream is to share work, emotions and passion through our wines. A life dedicated to understanding and enhancing these terroirs by making them part of the spirit of Tuscany as the art of the beautiful and the good. A thousand years of this family's history are a unique and unrepeatable treasure of knowledge and traditions; our duty is to share and pass on this passion to future generations, carrying on our love for these places and these eternal hills."
