Frescobaldi Chianti Castiglioni 2022

The Frescobaldi family has an incredibly rich history in Tuscany dating back to medieval Florence. They were part of the city’s fabric from the early years, patronizing some of the biggest projects that became the foundation of the region.

For the last 700 years, they’ve been growing wine in Tuscany. Slowly and carefully, they have purchased estates, giving them access to all sorts of terroir throughout some of the most prime locations in all of Tuscany.

With properties along the hills of Montalcino, throughout Nipozzano to the hidden gem of Castello Pomino, all the way up to Tenuta Ammiraglia by the sea, and Tenuta Perano in the heart of Chianti Classico, the wines made here all tell profoundly different stories.

Their portfolio is rich with some incredible values. It seems like every time we talk with this great family, there’s another deal that beats the one before it.

Today’s Castiglioni Chianti comes from some of the oldest parts of this sacred estate, where the soil is super rich with galestro soil and super fine sandstone. This porous soil is heaven-like for Sangiovese, helping to sculpt grippy, full-bodied wines with tannins that somehow remain light and lively.
