A Historic Winery with Centuries of Tradition in Tuscany

The Frescobaldi Family Legacy

The Frescobaldi family has been a cornerstone of Italian winemaking for over 700 years, with roots tracing back to the early 1300s in Tuscany. Their first estate, Tenuta di Castigliona, gained prominence in the 1400s by supplying wines to renowned Renaissance artists like Donatello. Frescobaldi wines have graced the tables of the Papal Court and the English Court of King Henry VIII. Today, the family manages seven estates across Tuscany, with President Lamberto Frescobaldi dedicated to enhancing the unique qualities of each estate's wines.

Castello di Nipozzano: A Historical Gem

Castello di Nipozzano, the oldest estate in the Frescobaldi portfolio, is nestled in the picturesque Chianti Rufina region. This estate is perched on a hillside overlooking the Arno River, where the unique terroir supports the cultivation of exceptional grape varieties. The estate is home to the 11th-century castle that now serves as the winery's cellar and barrel room. The name Nipozzano is believed to mean "without a well," reflecting the area's dry conditions that are ideal for grapevine growth.

Vineyards and Signature Wines

Spanning over 800 hectares, Castello di Nipozzano boasts a rich history of viticulture. In 1855, a visionary ancestor of the Frescobaldi family invested in cultivating grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, which were previously unknown in Tuscany. After years of dedicated care, these vines now produce the estate's flagship wine, Mormoreto, celebrated for its quality and character.
