2024 Frescobaldi Albizzia Chardonnay Di Toscana IGT, Tuscany

From one of Tuscany’s most historic wine families comes a fresh, modern Chardonnay that reflects both heritage and approachability. The Frescobaldi name has been synonymous with Florentine wine since the 1300s, supplying European courts and shaping Tuscan viticulture for centuries. Today the family oversees estates across the region, combining deep tradition with contemporary precision. Albizzia, named after the elegant Albizia trees that bloom around the vineyards in summer, is crafted as a vibrant, fruit driven Chardonnay grown on sun drenched Tuscan hillsides where warm days and cool evenings preserve freshness and aromatic lift.

Pale straw with bright golden highlights, the nose is open and inviting. Ripe pear, white peach and pineapple rise from the glass, layered with citrus zest and a delicate floral note. There is a clean, sun ripened character balanced by subtle freshness.

On the palate it is medium bodied, smooth and lively. Stone fruit and citrus glide across gentle acidity, giving balance and drinkability. The texture is supple without heaviness, finishing clean and refreshing with lingering notes of apple and lemon peel. It is a modern Tuscan white designed for immediate pleasure rather than extended ageing.

Pair with seafood pasta, grilled chicken, antipasto, fresh mozzarella with tomatoes and basil or light risotto. Best enjoyed over the next three to five years to capture its bright fruit and easy charm.
