President Lamberto Frescobaldi, born in Florence on June 27, 1963, represents the 30th generation of this renowned Tuscan winegrowing family. His lifework has been the revitalization of the production and financial performance of the family’s notable portfolio of agricultural estates. He was nominated in 2007 to the Accademico dei Georgofili, an institution begun in the 18th century that aims to contribute to the advancement of the sciences and their application to agriculture, environmental protection, and the development of the rural world.

Frescobaldi’s notable achievements include the development of the Gorgona Prison Wine Project, where he partnered with the Italian government to create a winemaking initiative at the Gorgona prison. The project employs incarcerated individuals in the production of wine, providing them with valuable work experience and a pathway to reintegrate into society. The Gorgona wine is not only acclaimed for its quality but has also become a symbol of hope and redemption for the participants, significantly lowering recidivism rates among them.
Frescobaldi’s work embodies his commitment to both the future of winemaking and social change, leveraging his family’s legacy to foster meaningful impact in the lives of others.
