Descrizione

The Pareto Cabernet Sauvignon Toscana IGT 1987 from Tenuta di Nozzole, offered by Folonari, is a historic wine bearing the varietal indication and the Toscana IGT designation. Bottle presented in wooden case, sold as such. The colour tends towards garnet with orange highlights, a sign of evolution over time. As a mature vintage, it is advisable to check storage conditions, the integrity of the closure and the provenance of the bottle before purchase; storage history significantly affects quality.

In the glass it may show the aromatic development typical of mature Cabernet Sauvignon: notes of evolved dark fruit, touches of dried herbs and tertiary aromas, with a palate that may be supple and tannins softened. Bottle sediment is possible: each example can vary. Pairs with roasted meats, braised game and aged cheeses; serving in a large glass, considering a short decanting and attention to serving temperature are recommended to appreciate balance. May be of interest to collectors and enthusiasts.

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

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.
