Frescobaldi Albizzia Chardonnay 2024

Winery Background and History

Albizzia is a modern, approachable Chardonnay under the Frescobaldi range, produced at the Tuscan estate of Santa Maria. It reflects the Frescobaldi lineage—a noble Florentine family deeply rooted in winemaking since the early 1300s—combining centuries of tradition with fresh, everyday drinkability. 

Producer and Winemaker

This wine is expertly crafted by Frescobaldi’s oenological team. With a focus on freshness and varietal clarity, they apply stainless-steel fermentation and brief lees contact to preserve the purity of Chardonnay fruit. 

Vineyards and Micro Climate

Grown in the coastal-influenced hills of Tuscany, Albizzia benefits from warm days and cool nights. This helps develop fruit flavors while maintaining aromatic freshness and acid balance—key for a refined, crisp Chardonnay. 

Vinification & Aging Methods

The 2024 edition is fermented and matured entirely in stainless steel tanks for approximately 3 months, preserving varietal vibrancy and delivering a clean finish. 

Tasting Notes

Additional descriptors note cedar and lime citrus, tropical pineapple and banana, followed by aromatic herbs and mint—offering further depth and nuance.
