Wine Sponsor: Castello Del Trebbio
By Gabriella Torcise
A look at another one of our wine sponsors for Saturday’s JBF dinner.
Castello Del Trebbio was created in 1184 by the famous Pazzi family of Florence. Their history is deeply rooted in Florentine culture, with a huge conspiracy looming over the family. In 1478 the Pazzi family did not like the Medici family ruling Florence and believed that if the time came, the Florentine people would follow the Pazzi family rather than the Medici, so they took action. They attempted to kill and de-throne Lorenzo de’ Medici, but the attempt failed and they killed his brother. The Medici, in a calculated decision, retaliated in what they believed to be reasonable, and killed the entire Pazzi family. This winery showcases beautifully made wines true to their terroir and history, and are renowned for their elegance and structure. The winery has a longstanding relationship with FUA and we are proud to feature a wine so intertwined into Tuscany history.
The Chianti Rufina DOCG Riserva, Lastricato and Vin Santo del Chianti, D.O.C will be served at Saturday’s JBF dinner.
