Product Details

Code: FRES004

Frescobaldi is a historic Italian wine producer located in Tuscany. It has several estates spread throughout the region. The history of Frescobaldi dates back to the early 1300s, when the family began making wine at Tenuta di Castigliona, southwest of Florence. It became famous in the 1400s for supplying wines to Renaissance artists like Donatello, and Frescobaldi wines were served to the Papal Court and the English Court of King Henry VIII. 

A wine that represents the powerful expression of Merlot, grown since 1991 on strong and arid clays from the CastelGiocondo Estate in Montalcino. The origin of the grapes is that of the estate in CastelGiocondo, in Montalcino. The soils are located at an altitude of 300 meters above sea level, and reach an extension of 12 hectares.

Its color is an intense ruby red, with tinges of deep violet. Its bouquet offers unique emotions: fruit is the main protagonist, with notes ranging from sweet and ripe blueberries to cherry. Tertiary toasted notes of chocolate and coffee follow. Finally, liquorice and mint stand out. The attack in the mouth is decisive, its breadth and depth well perceived; the tannic texture is dense, intense, soft and velvety. The finish is extremely long, with clear fruity sensations balanced by elegant balsamic notes.
