The Legacy of Frescobaldi

Frescobaldi is a cornerstone of Italian winemaking, with a rich history spanning over 700 years and 30 generations. The family began cultivating vines in 1308, establishing themselves as a prominent producer in Tuscany. Throughout the Renaissance and into modern times, Frescobaldi has played a vital role in Florence's cultural and commercial life. Notably, their wines were even served to English King Henry VIII, showcasing their long-standing reputation.

A Diverse Collection of Estates

With eleven estates across Italy, including six in Tuscany and five in Friuli, Frescobaldi is recognized for its exceptional wine production. Each estate reflects the unique terroir of its location, resulting in a diverse range of wines. Frescobaldi has also been instrumental in introducing new grape varieties to Tuscany, such as Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, enriching the region's winemaking landscape.

Commitment to Sustainability

In 2012, Frescobaldi earned AgriQualita certification for its commitment to sustainable farming practices. The winery employs photovoltaic systems to harness solar energy, ensuring environmentally friendly production. This dedication to sustainability, combined with the expertise of their agronomists and oenologists, has solidified Frescobaldi's status as a beloved name in the wine industry, both in Italy and worldwide.

An experience to be had and to remember. Modern structure that nevertheless preserves the soul of the tradition of a family business that has been producing wine for generations. We had the pleasure of not only visiting it in detail, but also tasting the products during a guided tasting. Excellent local wines and cheeses, and a panorama of vineyards as far as the eye can see. I highly recommend you come and see it.

My friends gave me a tasting with a visit to the wine cellars and it was an unforgettable experience for everyone. The place is magnificent, both the architecture of the structure and the view leave you speechless. The staff is extremely friendly and very professional, the girl who accompanied us on the visit was very good at explaining everything to us and answering the various questions. The wines offered are really excellent, the same goes for the food served at the tasting. The only downside: we spent around 300 euros on wines and when we asked to get a few bags from the company in which to give them away, we were told that they had to be paid separately, with such a "big" expense it seems a bit ridiculous to me (come on, a few euros for the bags doesn't change anything at the Marquis 😉). But an excellent experience, I recommend it!

Beautiful cellar, Giusi impeccable... the wines, as always, are top-notch. Tasting of 2 white wines, 1 rosé, and 2 red wines, accompanied by cured meats and cheeses... If you're in the area, it's worth a visit!

An incredible experience visiting one of the Frescobaldi wineries! One of the newest ones, the building looks digital and unusual for this region. Most Frescobaldi estates are historic castles with a lot of history. And the exception is Tenuta di Ammiraglia: it was built from scratch. The modern winery resembles a ship and is located near the sea—in Maremma, on the southern coast of Tuscany. They planted French Syrah vines here, hoping for delicate red wines, but the hot climate and abundant sunshine resulted in wines that were too alcoholic and lacked balance. The solution was unexpected and beautiful. Lamberto drew parallels with Provence—the climate, grape varieties, and the resort atmosphere of Maremma strongly reminded him of the French Riviera. This led to the production of stunning rosé wines. Additionally, you can purchase here bottles from other Frescobaldi estates. It is recommended to book a tasting in advance, and be reminded that weekends are especially fully booked. Although we couldn’t attend a tasting, a lady still gave us a tour, and it was incredible.
