| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nBright ruby-red color with tinges of purple. The bouquet is rich with aromas of cherry, blackberry and wild strawberry followed by elegant Mediterranean scents. On the palate, its soft, elegant and vibrant taste is immediately apparent. The finish is intensely and pleasantly aromatic.\r\nFood Pairing -\u00a0 full-flavored dishes such as pappardelle pasta in a meat sauce, as well as roast chicken, saut\u00e9ed beef with vegetables and medium-aged cheeses.\r\nAbout the Frescobaldi Family\r\nThe history of the Frescobaldi family starts over a thousand years ago and is closely connected with the history of Tuscany. At the high point of medieval Florence, the Frescobaldis spread their influence as bankers, earning the title of treasures to the English crown. A little later, with the flowering of the Renaissance, they became patrons of major works in Florence, such as the construction of the Santa Trinita bridge and the Basilica of Santo Spirito. For generations creativity and a quest for excellence have inspired the Frescobaldi family.\r\nWe want the family estates, with their vineyards, to be the expression of this diversity and for the wines to reflect each individual terroir, respecting their nature and authenticity.\r\nDiversity is also a promise of pure tastes, from wines to olive oil to the dishes cooked in our restaurants.\r\nAnd lastly, diversity is cultivated in the Renaissance of the arts and of men: with the sponsorship of the \u201cArtists for Frescobaldi\u201d project and the social responsibility of the rehabilitation of the prisoners of Gorgona Island.\r\nThe Tenuta Castiglioni\r\n\r\nProperty of the family since the 11th century, Castiglioni is the point of origin of wine production for the Frescobaldis. Documentation indicates that wines were being produced here as early as 1300. The estate extends along the ancient Via di Castiglioni, built by the Romans to unify northern Tuscany and Rome.\r\nThe area was already famous in those times for the quality of its agricultural harvests and was for centuries at the center of heavy trade traffic and chosen as the site for luxury Roman villas. The coat of arms of the Frescobaldi family, with the crown, the shield and three fortresses, represents Castiglioni as well, in remembrance and recognition of the 700 years of wine-making history which began here at this very estate. |
