The Frescobaldi Chianti is produced on the Castiglioni estate, located on the rolling hills of the Val di Pesa and characterized by a mild climate and cool soils, and with a rich winemaking history behind it. Castiglioni has been owned by the Frescobaldi family since the 11th century and is the starting point of the family's winemaking history, whose sources date back to 1304 thanks to a document recording an exchange with Michelangelo Buonarroti of wine for works of art. Historically, one of the oldest wineries in Italy, it also benefits from the appreciation of its wines both nationally and internationally, especially from historic exports to the papal and English courts. Today the estate has a dual vocation: on the one hand, maintaining the winemaking history that distinguishes it with the cultivation of native vines such as Sangiovese, on the other, it exalts itself as a symbol of avant-garde in wine production thanks to the morphological characteristics of the territory, suitable for giving life to more modern wines but always of great structure.
The morphological characteristics of the soil, rich in clay and with notable water retention, allow the grapes to ripen in a balanced way and to reflect softness and a strong, well-defined character in wines such as Frescobaldi Chianti Castiglioni. With a predominance of Sangiovese and a small quantity of Merlot it is fermented in stainless steel and subsequently aged for 6 months in vats and one month in the bottle before being released for sale.
