Since 1300, Tenuta Castiglioni has been the emblem of the Frescobaldi family's winemaking tradition. Here began the production of wines linked to the Tuscan territory, appreciated in the 1500s at the papal court and at the English court of Henry VIII. The freshly harvested grapes were destemmed and fermented with light and constant pumping over in thermoregulated steel tanks. Once alcoholic fermentation was completed, malolactic fermentation took place and the wine began maturation in barriques for 12 months undergoing the typical harmonious evolution of the various color, smell and taste components. Food pairing: Roasted, grilled or barbecued beef as well as soft, medium-mature cheese. Serving temperature: 15-18ºC. Taste: In the mouth it is soft and enveloping, velvety tannic texture. Persuasive the taste-olfactory finish. Appearance: Bright ruby red color with purple reflections. Aroma: Fruity, with cherry, mulberry, ripe but turgid black plum in full evidence; the spicy note is interesting, in which cinnamon, star anise, clove and licorice root are recognizable. Coffee and mint fused with hints of chocolate prevail in the olfactory finish. Grape variety: Cabernet sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet franc, Sangiovese
