The wine

Folonari Nobile 2020: The soul of Prugnolo Gentile

Imagine yourself, in the heart of Tuscany, where every hill tells a story. This Nobile di Montepulciano from Folonari, 2020 vintage, is an invitation to that narrative, a bottle that whispers authenticity without ever shouting.

Montepulciano, land of nobility

The Folonari estate, rooted in the Montepulciano territory, signs here a measured and classic interpretation of this prestigious appellation. It is in these vineyards, bathed in Tuscan sun, that Prugnolo Gentile is born, a local clone of Sangiovese, unique to this region. This exclusive grape variety gives the wine its distinctive character, a pure expression of the terroir that awaits you.

When you pour this Nobile, its deep ruby color immediately captivates the eye. On the nose, it is a sensory journey: ripe red fruits, notably plum, mingle with spicy and earthy notes that fully reveal themselves with aeration. On the palate, the 2020 vintage offers an articulated palate, with a medium to full body. The tannins, present but silky and polished, caress the palate, and the persistence is beautiful, inviting with each sip without ever excess. I also perceive touches of leather and citrus, a complexity that subtly unfolds.

Tuscan pairings for shared moments

This wine is an ideal companion for the table, designed to elevate your meals. I recommend it with roasted meat dishes, such as maiale ripieno di coniglio, or small game. It will also pair wonderfully with flavorful risottos or medium-aged cheeses. Also think of more rustic dishes like fegato or verza con torta di cipolle. Serve it between 16 and 18 °C and, if you have time, let it breathe for a few minutes before tasting so that it reveals its full aromatic palette. It is a bottle that combines sobriety and reliability, perfect for an informal evening with friends or a more formal dinner, a true piece of Tuscany to share.

⚠️ Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health — consume in moderation. Sale prohibited to minors.

Prugnolo Gentile is Sangiovese with a Montepulciano accent: for the Folonari 2020, go for fegato or verza con torta di cipolle, rustic pairings that stand up to its tannins.
