Over centuries they expanded land holdings, viticulture expertise, and wine estates across Tuscany. The Rèmole label derives its name from Villa di Rèmole, a historic estate near Florence, reflecting the Frescobaldis’ emphasis on expressing Tuscany’s terroir through approachable, everyday wines. Rèmole is meant to capture the convivial spirit of Tuscan table wines: fruit-forward, balanced, and versatile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Winemaker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eProduced under the Frescobaldi umbrella, the Rèmole line is overseen by Frescobaldi’s enology and viticulture teams who coordinate vineyard selection, fermentation protocols, and blending. Their guiding goal is consistency across vintages while allowing vintage character to emerge. The winemaking approach is relatively modern but respectful of tradition: controlled fermentations, careful extraction, and modest aging to preserve freshness and drinkability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyards and Micro Climate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eGrapes for Rèmole come from vineyards in Tuscany under the Toscana IGT designation. The microclimate benefits from warm summer sun tempered by breezes and cooler nights, which help retain acidity and aromatic integrity. Soils are well-drained with clay, limestone, and schistous elements typical of Tuscan hillside sites. The combination of sun exposure, temperature variation, and soil stress encourages concentration of flavors without excessive yields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAfter hand harvest, grapes are destemmed, gently crushed, and fermented in stainless steel under temperature control to maintain fruit purity and moderate tannin extraction. Malolactic fermentation follows to soften acidity and round texture. The wine is then aged primarily in steel tanks for about four months, and receives an additional two months of bottle refinement before release, allowing integration and smoothing of primary aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eColor: bright, intense red-purple hue. The nose brings forward red and black fruit aromas—cherry, raspberry, black currant—accompanied by delicate spice and light balsamic notes. On the palate it is medium-bodied, with juicy fruit core, gentle tannins, and a balanced acid frame. The finish is clean and pleasant, showing hints of red berry, a whisper of black pepper, and persistent fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood \u0026amp; Wine Pairing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003ePairs well with savory first courses, cured meats, and moderately flavored red meats.

A short decant of 20–30 minutes may help open aromas, especially for younger bottles. Pour gently to avoid stirring sediment.

While Rèmole is crafted for early consumption, the 2024 vintage could develop over 4 to 6 years under good conditions, with gradual softening of tannins and emergence of secondary notes such as earth or leather. Once opened, re-cork and consume within 1–2 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape Varietals \u0026amp; percentage used\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eSangiovese + a percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV (Alcohol by Volume)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e12.5 %\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ASC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47922260508886,"sku":null,"price":118.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/5465\/4934\/files\/FrescobaldiRemoleToscanaIgt_7a61cb88-0da2-422a-b6ee-3f9edbba59e2.png?v=1773667763","url":"https:\/\/www.pinotera.com\/products\/frescobaldi-remole-toscana-igt-2023","provider":"Pinotera Wines \u0026 Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
