Lamberto Frescobaldi<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lamberto Frescobaldi, born in Florence on June 27, 1963, represents the thirtieth generation of this renowned Tuscan winegrowing family. His lifework has been the rivitalisation of the production and financial performance of the family\u2019s notable portfolio of agricultural estates.<\/p>\n

He showed an obvious enthusiasm for agriculture even in his childhood, spending long periods of time in the countryside around Pelago (Florence), and began his activities in the family business quite early.
