Bankers and politicos in Medieval Florence, the Frescobaldi family was known as the "treasurers to the English crown." They branched into winemaking around 1300, producing a slew of different wines, each reflecting the different vineyard locations and micro-climates that were under their domain. The fathers of terroir. Donatello and Michelozzi were fans. Just so you know.
