Descrizione

Cabreo Il Borgo Toscana IGT 1994 in Jeroboam format, presented in a wooden case, is aimed at those seeking a mature expression of Tuscan wine. Produced by Tenute del Cabreo and offered by Folonari, the lot bears the designation Toscana IGT and the 1994 vintage; the Jeroboam format is suited to cellaring and communal occasions. The wooden case provides protection and a refined presentation for collectors or for tasting events.

In the glass it shows an evolved profile, with aromas leaning toward secondary and tertiary notes typical of a wine of this age: soft impressions of ripe fruit, hints of spice, and a tannic texture now more smoothed. On the palate it retains structure and balance, and light aeration before serving is recommended. Serving temperature around 16–18°C; pairs with hearty dishes such as roasted red meats, medium-weight game and aged cheeses. Available in the Jeroboam format, ideal for collecting or celebrations.

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.
