Descrizione

Cabreo Il Borgo Toscana IGT 1987 from Tenute del Cabreo - Folonari is a historic red wine presented in a wooden case. As this is an older vintage, we recommend carefully checking the condition of the bottle, the cork's integrity and the wine level before purchase. If possible, request information on storage and provenance; for service, a gentle decantation is prudent to separate any deposits and encourage the opening of aromas.

For wines of this age, one can expect evolved profiles: aromas shifting from ripe fruit toward earthier and spicier notes, although final quality depends greatly on storage. On the palate the structure may be softened compared with a young wine, with rounder tannins and more integrated acidity. It pairs with hearty, rustic dishes, braised meats, stews and aged cheeses, or can be enjoyed on its own as a contemplative wine. Serve at a moderate temperature (around 16–18 °C) and consume the bottle within a few hours of opening.

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.
