Cabreo 1985

Pair of "Cabreo" Vigneto "Il Borgo" from 1985

A wine that bears the name of an authentic Tuscan tradition and which represents one of the first I.g.t. defined as SuperTuscan.
A dense Burgundy, rich in violet reflections, which on the nose transforms into a rich, fascinating and complex olfactory heritage.

The Tenuta Ambrogio E Giovanni Folonari was founded at the end of the 1700s by the founder Lorenzo Folonari, originally from Valtellina, who began the lineage of entrepreneurs, who will forever link this surname first to trade and then to the production of wine.
Over the years, the continuous research and acquisition of land dedicated to obtaining high quality grapes has led to the current six estates (Tenuta di Nozzole, Tenute del Cabreo, Tenuta Campo al Mare, Tenuta La Fuga, Torcalvano and Vigne a Porrona ) that make up the company.
These are six plots in different positions and each dedicated to the care and production of exclusive wines with character.
At the same time, the revaluation of the territory and the qualitative improvement of the grapes were followed by innovation, creativity, research and care in the cellar, starting from winemaking up to the use of particular woods for maturation.

A red with character produced from grapes coming from the Tenute del Cabreo vineyards located on the hills of Greve in Chianti. The grapes are harvested manually, destemmed and softly pressed and the must fermented on the skins in stainless steel wine vessels for approximately eighteen days at a controlled temperature of 28°. The malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel, followed by eighteen months of aging in two hundred and twenty-five liter French oak barrels (30% new, 40% one year old and the remaining 30% two years old). The wine is then bottled and placed in the cellar for at least six months before being placed on the market.
