Descrizione

Cabreo Il Borgo Toscana IGT 1988 in jeroboam format, presented in its wooden case, is a mature example from Tenute del Cabreo - Folonari. In the glass it shows a color indicating evolution and an aromatic complexity shaped by ageing: impressions of ripe fruit, tertiary nuances and restrained hints of spice and earthy background. The large bottle contributes to a more measured developmental pace than smaller formats, making the tasting calmer and more integrated.

On the palate it presents with tannins now softened and a balance that rewards the integration of flavour elements; the acidity retains the freshness needed to keep the wine lively. Careful handling at opening is advisable: decant gently to separate any deposits and allow the wine to express itself. It pairs well with structured dishes, red meats and flavorful cheeses; serve at a moderate temperature and enjoy slowly.

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
