Frascole

Tuscany

Organic - Sangiovese, Chianti Rufina and Riserva, Trebbiano

Situated in Dicomano (north-east of Florence) at 400 meters above sea level, their small farm stretches over 98 hectares with 16,5 planted with vineyards.


The cellars and their barriques hold the prize of their organic farming, 100% Sangiovese based Chianti Rufina, while their olive trees produce some of the finest extra virgin organic olive oil that we have ever tasted.


The order of the day is simplicity and honesty – there is an understated elegance to the life that they lead. Their wines speak of purity, and the hospitality with which the wines are served is exemplary.
 
Since 1998, the entire estate follows organic agricultural methods.
