Rèmole

Before the year 1000

The Pieve di Rèmole was already documented before the year 1000. It is a medieval Romanesque parish church of austere character, distinguished by a slender, unusually simple façade with its bell tower positioned in the middle.

1300: the Arno fulling mills

The Gualchiere di Rèmole were built beside the Arno in 1300. Owned by ancestors of the Frescobaldi family, these fulling mills developed into an important centre for processing and trading wool and ranked among the largest workshops of their kind in Tuscany.

The historic villa and the Rèmole identity

The name Rèmole derives from the historic Villa di Rèmole at Sieci, east of Florence. The villa is closely associated with the Frescobaldi family's memories and is presented as the cradle and custodian of approximately 700 years of family history and tradition. That historical identity now frames Rèmole and its range of Tuscan wines.

Rèmole is associated with the historic Villa di Rèmole at Sieci, within the municipality of Pontassieve and east of Florence, in the heart of Tuscany. The historic complex stands in the Arno landscape: its fulling mills were constructed directly along the river in 1300. No estate-specific description of vineyard elevation, exposure, geology, soils, rainfall, winds or individual vineyard microclimates is provided.

Rèmole falls within the Frescobaldi estates' programme of integrated production and sustainable agriculture. The estates have held AgriQualità certification from the Region of Tuscany since 2012. This certification covers ecologically sustainable agricultural techniques compatible with protection of the natural environment.

Rèmole is framed around conviviality: the pleasure of sharing a generous table and the authenticity of Tuscan flavours. Its identity connects informal enjoyment of wine with the historical memory of the Villa di Rèmole.

Within the wider agricultural approach applied to the Frescobaldi estates, individual properties and their vineyards are intended to express Tuscany's territorial diversity. The guiding principles are respect for the nature and authenticity of each terroir, preservation of family knowledge for future generations and cultivation conducted in harmony with the land.
