Descrizione

Cabreo Il Borgo Toscana IGT 1997 from Tenute del Cabreo (distributed by Folonari) is a red wine that carries the character of its vintage. The bottle, presented in a wooden case, reflects a long maturation in bottle: on the nose it shows evolved aromas, with notes of ripe fruit, earthy nuances and spicy hints, while the palate offers a balanced structure and smoothed tannins, typical of wines with several years behind them. It is important to assess the condition of the individual bottle before purchase, as age can affect freshness and organoleptic characteristics.

We recommend opening the bottle carefully and, if necessary, decanting it to separate any deposits. It pairs with dishes of moderate structure, red meats that are not overly fatty, mushrooms and aged cheeses; it can also be a contemplative wine for those who appreciate more evolved profiles. Store in a cool, dark place at a constant temperature; for detailed information about the specific bottle, contact the seller.

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.
