On Enoteca Properzio’s website one can find some of the most famous bottles of the Marchesi De’ Frescobaldi, among which the Masseto Tenuta dell’Ornellaia 2010, 0.75-liter bottle, awarded by Robert Parker, Gambero Rosso and Duemilavini for its taste, fragrance, and structure, and the Ornellaia 2010, 25 year Pistoletto special edition, in a majestic 3-liter bottle, stylized and curated in all its details, and that contains one of the best crops in history.
Alongside promoting the Tuscan culture, one of the company’s goals is to respect the environment, as it has always striven to valorize the diversity of the land. This philosophy led to the production of wine bottles that are appreciated around the globe.
An example? Brunello di Montalcino Castelgiocondo Marchesi De’ Frescobaldi, 2010, 100% Sangiovese, characterized by its ruby-red color and its unforgettable taste. Its aroma contains fragrances of leather, tobacco, and pomegranate, while leaving a cherry and tobacco taste on the palate. Its finale is quite silky, truly sublime, perfect to enjoy with typical Tuscan plates, such as Florentine steak.
For those who love white wine, our selection points to the Gorgona Marchesi De’ Frescobaldi, 2016, 1.5-liter bottle: with its greenish tint that appears in the midst of its straw-yellow color, this wine is delicate, but at the same time decisive and persistent. Its prickly pear and Maracuja aroma bode with hints of cedar and chamomile flowers. You do not want to miss out on this bottle… as you don’t want to miss out on any bottle from this unique cellar.
