The Torcalvano Rosso di Montepulciano DOC by Folonari is a red wine that encapsulates the tradition and elegance of Tuscany, proving itself a classic example of this famous denomination. Produced in Montepulciano, renowned for its rich soils that lend the wine a marked structure and a distinct character, Torcalvano presents a deep ruby red color with shades that promise an intense and enveloping tasting experience.

On the nose, the wine reveals a complex aromatic bouquet where notes of ripe red fruits such as cherries and plums stand out, enriched by spicy nuances of black pepper and a light vanilla touch contributed by aging in wood. This wine indeed spends part of its maturation process in barriques, which adds complexity and further rounds out its structure.

On the palate, Torcalvano demonstrates an excellent balance between acidity and well-integrated tannins, resulting in a pleasingly persistent drink. The fruity sensations savored on the nose are also found on the palate, accompanied by a delicate balsamic note that prolongs the aftertaste.

This wine pairs beautifully with dishes from Tuscan cuisine, like peposo dell'Impruneta or bistecca alla fiorentina, but is equally sublime with aged cheeses or mushroom-based dishes. It is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 18-20°C to fully appreciate all its qualities.

Thus, the Torcalvano Rosso di Montepulciano is an expression of a territory, an ideal choice for those seeking a wine that encompasses the essence of Italian winemaking with the guarantee of a historic and respected producer like Folonari.
