Descrizione

A vintage Premier Cru magnum by Louis Brochet and distributed by Folonari presents a composed, refined personality. The perlage is fine and persistent, accompanying a bouquet that plays on ripe citrus and small white flowers, with delicate hints of bread crust and acacia honey that emerge without being intrusive. It is balanced in tension: vibrant freshness and restrained sapidity support a linear flavor profile that is nonetheless rich in nuance.

On the palate it reveals good substance, a soft entry and lively development, with citrus echoes and a slight yeasty undertone that extends the finish. The magnum bottle enhances the evolution of the aromas, making it suitable for convivial occasions or demanding seafood dishes; it pairs well with shellfish, baked fish and soft cheeses. Serve at around 8-10 °C to appreciate its freshness and finesse.

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.
