Leonia Brut

The history of the Frescobaldi family dates back to medieval Florence and Tuscany, greatly influencing their history for centuries to come. Patrons were responsible for the construction of the Santa Trinità bridge in Florence and the Basilica Santo Spirito, and the works of the famous musician of the 1700s Girolamo Frescobaldi conquered the whole Europe. In the world of wine they were considerably influential since 1855, introducing transalpine vines in Tuscany such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Nero and Chardonnay, and making a decisive contribution to the development and notoriety of Tuscan viticulture. Today, in the numerous estates owned by the Frescobaldi family, wine is produced with great attention to the terroir of origin, respect for the diversity of the territories, environmental sustainability and the promotion of Tuscan culture through each single label and the countless experiences to be lived at each individual estate.

The Brut Metodo Classico Leonia has in its genetic code the audacity that characterizes the history of the Frescobaldi family, whose name is a tribute to the great-great-grandmother of Lamberto Frescobaldi, who pioneered the French vines in Pomino, a small fraction of the nearby municipality of Rufina, vinifying them in the first Italian gravity cellar. A great undertaking that earned her the gold medal at the Paris Expo in 1878. A wine of rare elegance born from the assembly of different cuvées of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, most of which fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and a part minor in wood. The refermentation in the bottle with aging on the lees lasts for at least 32 months followed by further refinement in the bottle. A Brut with an extraordinary aromatic concentration and a seductive freshness that envelops the palate.
