Frescobaldi – 700 years of wine history

23 May

 

I was lucky enough to be hosted in some of their estates in the wonderful Tuscany to discover their wine philosophy and taste their extraordinary products

The Frescobaldi are a florentine family devoted to the production of great Tuscan wines for thirty generations. With the goal of being the most prestigious Tuscan wine producer,  this family believes in respect for the territory, strives for the excellence of their grapes, and invests in communications technology and in human resources professionalism.

From the Chianti region to that of Pomino DOC, from Montalcino to Maremma one finds the estates and splendid vineyards of Frescobaldi, where the perfect understanding of the environment and uniqueness of terroir brings a guarantee of constant quality and wines of distinctive personality.

Danilo has been such a great host guiding me through this huge reality. Beyond the great and interesting wine tastings a wonderful dinner was held in their restaurant “Dei Frescobaldi” in Piazza della Signoria in Florence where I could taste the amazing Ornellaia, one of my favorite.
