2022 Castiglioni Chianti Frescobaldi
Winemaker Notes
Chianti Castiglioni 2022 shows a beautiful vibrant ruby red color to the eye. On olfactory analysis it is pleasantly fruity, with notes of ripe small berries, including red currant, raspberry, sour cherry and wild strawberry. The burst of fruit is followed by floral scents and spicy hints of clove. In the mouth it is fresh and soft with a pleasant tannic texture, well present but never excessive. The finish, long and clean, is also dominated by its fruit character.
A great match with savory dishes such as pappardelle with meat sauce, as well as roast chicken, beef strips with vegetables, and medium-aged cheeses.

About the Frescobaldi Family
The history of the Frescobaldi family starts over a thousand years ago and is closely connected with the history of Tuscany. At the high point of medieval Florence, the Frescobaldis spread their influence as bankers, earning the title of treasures to the English crown. A little later, with the flowering of the Renaissance, they became patrons of major works in Florence, such as the construction of the Santa Trinita bridge and the Basilica of Santo Spirito. For generations creativity and a quest for excellence have inspired the Frescobaldi family.
We want the family estates, with their vineyards, to be the expression of this diversity and for the wines to reflect each individual terroir, respecting their nature and authenticity.
Diversity is also a promise of pure tastes, from wines to olive oil to the dishes cooked in our restaurants.
And lastly, diversity is cultivated in the Renaissance of the arts and of men: with the sponsorship of the “Artists for Frescobaldi” project and the social responsibility of the rehabilitation of the prisoners of Gorgona Island.
