Folonari’s Pinot Nero Toscana IGT Black is a red wine whose name brings together the essential available details: the Pinot Nero grape, the Toscana IGT designation and the producer. It is an option for those looking for a red made from a grape known for elegance and finesse, though the name alone cannot define every aspect of the wine’s profile. In general, Pinot Nero can show notes of red fruit and a delicate texture, but its intensity, balance and feel on the palate depend on the wine’s specific interpretation. It is best discovered in the glass, without attributing characteristics that have not been provided.

At the table, it can accompany white meats, poultry, mushrooms and cheeses that are not too mature. Its varietal character also suits balanced dishes that do not overwhelm the wine’s nuances. Serve it in a red wine glass and choose a pairing to match the preparation and richness of the dish. A straightforward way to explore Pinot Nero through a Tuscan label from Folonari.

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
Enhance the production areas, combine tradition and innovation, and focus on grape quality to produce wines that are distinctive and closely tied to their territory; the company's plan includes investments in the estates and attention to the diversity of terroirs.
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.
Awards and recognitions
The "Vinitaly Territory Ambassador" award was presented to Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari Tenute.
