Toscana Rosso IGT “Giramonte” Frescobaldi was aged for 16 months in new barriques, followed by a further six months in bottle.
Tenuta Castiglioni is situated in the gentle hills of Val di Pesa. The richness of the weather and the terroir is expressed in the structure of the wines, due to the symbiosis between the soil, the mild climate and the afternoon breezes from the Tyrrhenian Sea. The vines are grown in well drained, dry, and stony soils, which are poor in organic matter and have a clay and limestone content. The grapes were hand-harvested at optimum maturity.
