Pairing Red meats, aged cheeses, flavorful dishes
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC from Folonari presents a straightforward, approachable profile, without excess. With an intense ruby color, it offers notes of ripe red fruit and light spicy nuances; the bouquet is direct and pleasant, never pretentious. On the palate it shows a well-balanced medium–full body, with freshness that supports the sip and soft tannins that enhance drinkability. The structure is solid but harmonious, with a discreet sapidity that adds lift to the finish. It drinks smoothly, ideal both for company and for everyday meals.

It’s a versatile wine, suitable for daily meals but able to stand up to heartier dishes: try it with ragù pasta, grilled meats, roasts and medium-aged cheeses. Serve at a cool but not cold temperature to appreciate its aromatic depth; it’s also suitable for relatively young drinking, when the fruit is still dominant. A practical, characterful table companion, designed for those seeking immediacy and pleasure without sacrificing structure.

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.
