Color: Intense straw yellow with golden reflections, a sign of aging in wood and good fruit concentration. The brightness anticipates a structured and refined white.
Bouquet: Complex, enveloping, and deep. Floral notes of broom and acacia emerge, followed by yellow-fleshed fruits like peach and pineapple, enriched with toasty, vanilla, and buttery nuances derived from aging in French oak barriques. The olfactory finish closes with hints of hazelnut and dry hay, signaling evolution and aging potential.
Taste: Full, velvety, and harmonious, with an important structure supported by balanced freshness and a long, creamy persistence. The wood aging adds volume and softness, while the pronounced minerality, typical of Pomino, provides verticality and depth. Elegant closure, with a delicate reference to toasted almond.

THE COMPANY
No other Italian winery can boast the history, prestige, and vision of the Marchesi Frescobaldi. A Florentine family dedicated for thirty generations and for 700 years to the production of great wines, with the constant goal of being the most prestigious producer in Tuscany. A reality that has always believed in respecting the territory, focuses on the excellence of its grapes, invests in communication and the professionalism of human resources, while never forgetting the respect for tradition and openness to research and experimentation. In 1855, they were the first in Tuscany to plant Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay in the estates of Nipozzano and Pomino. In 1894, they built in Pomino, a location not far from Florence, the first Italian winery capable of utilizing natural gravity for transferring wine from barrels, and they distinguished themselves, during the same period, for the introduction of the “specialized vineyard.” In 1989, they purchased the Castelgiocondo estate in Montalcino, and in 1995 inaugurated the Tenuta Luce della Vite in Montalcino, to which the Tenuta Conti Attems in Friuli was added in 2000. Recent bright projects include the control of the Tenuta dell’Ornellaia in Bolgheri in 2005, and in 2011 the inauguration of the modern winery of Ammiraglia in Maremma. All wines labeled “Marchesi Frescobaldi” are born from passion, experience, skill, and love for an elected territory, Tuscany, which has become the ideal cradle for wines of the highest quality. With a vineyard area that currently totals nearly one thousand hectares, and an annual production of around seven million bottles, ranging from the Chianti area to Pomino, from Montalcino to Maremma, the perfect knowledge of the environment and the uniqueness of the terroirs ensure consistent quality and a distinctive personality in the wines, all - without exception - exceptional. The labels of “Marchesi Frescobaldi” are elegant and harmonious, balanced and engaging, exciting and unique.
