700 years, 30 generations of Tuscan winemaking mastery.
Marchesi Frescobaldi is one of Italy's oldest and most influential wine families, with over 700 years and 30 generations of continuous winemaking history in Tuscany dating back to 1300. The family owns nine estates across the region — including Castello Pomino, Castello Nipozzano, and Tenuta CastelGiocondo in Montalcino — and has held a majority stake in the Bolgheri icon Tenuta dell'Ornellaia (producer of Masseto) since 2005. In 1855, Frescobaldi was the first in Tuscany to plant Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Nero, and Chardonnay. Their portfolio spans the full range of Tuscan terroir, from elegant Chianti Rufina and cool-climate Pomino whites to powerful Brunello di Montalcino and Super Tuscan blends.
