Tuscan heritage, elevated landscapes, and timeless craftsmanship
Set in the hills of Rufina, just northeast of Florence, Frascole is a historic estate deeply rooted in the Tuscan landscape. Surrounded by forests, olive groves, and vineyards, the estate enjoys a unique position at higher altitudes, where cooler temperatures and significant day-night variations shape wines of elegance and precision.
The origins of Frascole date back centuries, with evidence of viticulture on the estate since Etruscan times. This long-standing connection to the land is reflected in a philosophy that combines historical awareness with a thoughtful, modern approach to winemaking. Tradition is not preserved as a static concept, but continuously reinterpreted through careful and conscious choices.
The vineyards, cultivated with respect for the natural environment, are characterized by mineral-rich soils and a balanced microclimate. Each plot is managed with attention to detail, allowing the expression of Sangiovese and other native varieties to emerge with clarity and authenticity.
At Frascole, the work in the cellar follows the same principle of restraint and respect. The goal is not to impose, but to accompany the natural evolution of the grapes, resulting in wines that reflect the purity of the territory, with structure, finesse, and a strong sense of place.
