Frescobaldi has teamed up with Stolichnaya Vodka and Michael Mondavi to create a new joint venture Tenute di Toscana

The group pulls together three great Frescobaldi estates, Tenuta dell’Ornellaia, Castel Giocondo and Luce della Vite, which creates a combined total of 350ha of vines in the most prestigious production areas of Tuscany, Bolgheri and Montalcino.

SPI’s brands include Stolichnaya and Moskovskaya vodka. Michael Mondavi is the long- time American partner of Frescobaldi and co-founder of Luce della Vite, and now runs an import company, Folio Wine Partners, which will import the group’s brands exclusively in the US.
