What it tastes like.

Pater has a ruby red colour with hints of purple. Its personality is most emphasised by its fruity side. The bouquet has hints of blackberry, blueberry and plum, with floral memories accompanied by nuances of liquorice and coffee bean. On the palate, it is soft and velvety with a hint of freshness. It has a good taste-olfactory response.

The house

About Frescobaldi.

Tuscany (Florence) ·Est. 1308

Frescobaldi is a Florentine wine family with thirty generations and seven hundred years of continuous viticulture in Tuscany. The house has been producing wine commercially since 1308 and now operates ten Tuscan estates spanning Chianti Rufina, Brunello di Montalcino, Bolgheri, Pomino, Maremma and the prison-grown Gorgona. Caravan's range is centred on the Castello di Nipozzano (Chianti Rufina) and Tenuta CastelGiocondo (Montalcino) wines, with a Remole-tier Tuscan red and the house's Brunello-vinified grappa rounding out the listing.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Frescobaldi

Tuscany (Florence)

The Frescobaldi family established themselves in Florentine banking and the cloth trade in the 13th century before turning to wine; their financial dealings extended to financing the English crown under Edward I and Edward II, and they were patrons of the architects who built the Santa Trinità bridge and the Church of Santa Croce. The first documented Frescobaldi wine sale was in 1308. Through the Renaissance the house was supplying the papal courts and the table of Henry VIII.

Today the family operates ten Tuscan estates and sells in over sixty-five countries. Each estate is built around a specific terroir: Castello di Nipozzano in the cool, hill-tempered Chianti Rufina; Castello di Pomino at altitude near the Pratomagno mountains; Tenuta CastelGiocondo on the south-west slopes of Brunello di Montalcino; Tenuta Castiglioni in the original Frescobaldi family seat at Montespertoli; Tenuta Ammiraglia in coastal Maremma; Tenuta Perano in Gaiole-in-Chianti; the Bolgheri estate at Tenuta Ornellaia, fully owned within the Frescobaldi Group since 2002; and Gorgona, the rehabilitation-prison vineyard cultivated jointly with inmates of the island.

The wines worth knowing for a trade list: Nipozzano Riserva (Chianti Rufina, Sangiovese-dominant blend, the structural reference for Rufina), CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino (entry-tier classic Brunello for cellar-worthy bottles under $200), Mormoreto (Cabernet-led Toscana IGT from Nipozzano's higher slopes, long-cellaring), Pomino Vin Santo (the rare Tuscan dessert wine made from dried Trebbiano and Malvasia), and Remole (the entry-level Tuscan Sangiovese for by-the-glass).
