A 700-Year Winemaking Heritage

Tenuta Castiglioni, nestled in the picturesque hills of Val di Pesa between Siena and Florence, is a cornerstone of the Frescobaldi family's winemaking tradition. With a history spanning over 700 vintages, this estate represents the birthplace of their viticulture. Established in the 1300s along the ancient Roman Via di Castiglioni, the estate reflects Tuscany's rich heritage and its exceptional suitability for grape cultivation.

The Unique Terroir of Tenuta Castiglioni

The estate's vineyards thrive in the gentle hills of Val di Pesa, where the soil is a blend of rock and clay. This unique terroir, combined with the region's varied climate, creates ideal conditions for growing elegant Sangiovese, as well as robust Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Merlot. The warm, dry microclimate, complemented by refreshing afternoon breezes from the Tyrrhenian Sea, contributes to the wines' structure and character. As a result, Tenuta Castiglioni produces wines that are generous, elegant, and full of fruity flavors, showcasing the richness of their environment.

We had the pleasure of visiting Tenuta Castiglioni, one of the wonderful properties of the Frescobaldi family, and the experience was simply unforgettable! Special thanks go to Mrs. Franca, who welcomed us with warmth and professionalism, guiding us to discover the cellars and telling us with great passion and competence the history and excellence of Frescobaldi wines. Every detail, from the processing of the grapes to the meticulous care in the production of the wines, was illustrated with precision, enriching the experience with curiosities and anecdotes that made the visit unique and engaging. Franca's attention and dedication made the difference, making us feel part of a journey into a world of tradition and innovation, which is perfectly reflected in the wines tasted: an explosion of unforgettable flavors and aromas. We highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the art of Tuscan wine. Thanks again to Mrs. Franca for making everything so special!
