Wine Producers

Marchesi de' Frescobaldi is a historic Italian wine producer located in Tuscany. It has several estates spread throughout the region, including in the Chianti Rufina, Montalcino, Pomino, Colli Fiorentini and Maremma.

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. Now, Frescobaldi manages seven estates throughout Tuscany: Castello di Nipozzano, Castello di Pomino, Rèmole, Tenuta Perano, Tenuta di Castelgiocondo, Tenuta di Castiglioni and Tenuta dell'Ammiraglia.

Castello di Nipozzano, in the heart of Chianti Rufina, is the oldest of the estates. It is located on the mountainous side of the region, overlooking the Arno river, and is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. This estate also provides Frescobaldi with its Chianti Rufina wines.
