Descrizione

It opens with fine perlage and a straw-yellow color that suggests a certain depth. On the nose there are immediate impressions of compact red fruits and white-fleshed fruits, accompanied by bakery notes and a light bitter almond; the Blanc de Noirs here expresses structure and warmth without weighing it down, showing a balance between richness and freshness. The Premier Cru character is evident in the precision of the aromatic profiles and the compactness of the bouquet.

On the palate it reveals a full, flowing texture: the tannic component is present but soft, the acidity supports the sip and a pleasant savoriness prolongs it. The finish remains clean, with returns of dried fruit and yeast that invite another sip. Ideal to accompany savory preparations and fatty fish, baked shellfish, or flavorful white meats; it also suits aged cheeses. Serve chilled to appreciate its tension and structure.

Winery history

The Folonari family has deep roots in the Brescia area and has been involved in wine production since the late 18th century. At the end of the 19th century the headquarters were moved to Brescia, and in the early 20th century the family acquired the historic Ruffino winery. In the 1960s Nino Folonari began a shift toward quality with the acquisition of estates in Chianti. In 2000 Ambrogio and Giovanni Folonari established Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari Tenute, which brings together several estates in Tuscany, while the Folonari brand offers an extensive range of table wines and appellation wines.

Production philosophy

Terroir and vineyards

Headquarters and estates are mainly in Tuscany, with production and a presence also in north-eastern regions such as Veneto and in areas like the Collio; the company’s history begins in the Bresciano and includes references to territories around Lake Garda and beyond.
