Description

Castiglioni represents the fulcrum of the Frescobaldi wine production, which demonstrates their exploits since 1300. The estate expands along the ancient Via di Castiglioni, a route built by the Romans to get from northern Tuscany to Rome, the eternal city.

The area was already known in ancient times for the good quality of the land which gave excellent agricultural crops and was for centuries the fulcrum of intense trade and a favorite place for the construction of luxurious Roman villas.

In Val di Pesa, which is located south-west of Florence, the area is particularly suitable for the cultivation of elegant Sangiovese vines, but also Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. All the vineyards located on the estate enjoy a particular warm and dry microclimate, with light afternoon breezes rising from the Tyrrhenian sea.

In this splendid territory the berries ripen earlier and more completely, bringing intense and fruity notes, great softness and fine structure to the wines. Ruby red in colour, Chianti Castiglioni reveals itself in the glass with particular softness, fruity taste and a strong and well-defined character. It pairs perfectly with first courses with meat sauce, and is perfect with grilled meat and mature cheeses.

Winery history

The Frescobaldi family traces its roots to Florence and has a long-standing presence in the region; company records and historical sources report winemaking activities and landholdings already documented around 1300. Over the centuries the Frescobaldi have been patrons of the arts and prominent economic players; today the group owns several estates in Tuscany and markets wines recognized on international markets.

Production philosophy

The company's approach combines respect for local tradition with a drive for innovation: each estate is showcased as an expression of its own terroir, and the company declares a strong commitment to landscape protection, grape quality, and cultural and hospitality projects that reflect its connection to Tuscany.

Terroir and vineyards

The estates are located across different areas of Tuscany. This diversity of soils and microclimates is presented as a key factor in producing wines with distinctive identities linked to each territory.
