The wine

Vino Nobile Riserva Folonari: The Soul of Montepulciano

Let me guide you to a Tuscan gem, a wine that embodies the nobility of its terroir with rare elegance. This Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva is not just a bottle, it is an invitation to a sensory journey through the heart of the hills of Tuscany, a promise of intense and harmonious flavors.

Montepulciano, Land of Sangiovese and History

This wine is the fruit of the Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari estate, nestled in the historic region of Montepulciano, a name that resonates with winemaking excellence. It is here, on these blessed lands, that the Sangiovese grape, known locally as Prugnolo Gentile, finds its noblest expression. The 2016 vintage I had the pleasure of discovering is a perfect example of this marriage between tradition and expertise.

Its deep red color will seduce you at first glance. On the nose, you will be enveloped by an intense bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherry or raspberry, enhanced by spicy notes and a delicate touch of vanilla, the result of meticulous aging. On the palate, this wine reveals itself full and harmonious, with velvety tannins that caress the palate, offering a long aromatic persistence. Fermentation in steel tanks, followed by at least 24 months of aging in wood, gives it this structure and complexity so appreciated.

At the Table with Tuscan Authenticity

Imagine this wine accompanying a robust dish of Tuscan cuisine. It is the ideal companion for roasted red meats, fricassee, or aged cheeses. Its structure and aromas pair wonderfully with these frank and generous flavors.

This Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva is a celebration of Tuscan authenticity. I recommend it for a special occasion, a dinner with friends, or simply to treat yourself and enjoy a moment of escape. It is a tasting experience that will leave you with an unforgettable memory, a true taste of hidden Tuscany.
