MARCHESI FRESCOBALDI

Frescobaldi embodies the essence of Tuscany, its extraordinary vocation for viticulture and the diversity of its territories.

Frescobaldi’s uniqueness stems precisely from the representation of this diversity, from its estates and from wines which express a kaleidoscope of aromas and sensations, springing from the characteristics of each individual terroir

Behind every Frescobaldi wine lies the passion of our agronomists and oenologists, who know our vineyards and terroirs down to the finest detail. Their art, creating quality wines, requires the iron rule of respect. Respect for our tradition, which guides us, even in the midst of innovation or avantgarde solutions. Respect for Tuscany, our living land, to be cultivated in harmony and serenity. But also respect for each individual terroir, borne of a unique combination of soil, altitude and microclimate, each giving us a wine with its own matchless personality.

GORGONA AND FRESCOBALDI

Gorgona Island

The smallest in the tuscan archipelago, since 1869 it has been an open penal colony. The mainly mountainous island was once a place of hermits and monks and subject to barbarian raids.
Today the island hosts an open penal colony, where the prisoners can move around freely to work and learn new professions which will help them to be reinstated in society at the end of their sentence.

Gorgona and Frescobaldi

A social project born of the collaboration between Frescobaldi and the Gorgona penal institute. The Frescobaldi agronomists and oenologists have been working with the prisoners since 2011, offering them skills in wine-growing and wine, which they will be able to use to build a new future.
