Tenute Folonari Cabreo il Borgo

Description

From the Cabreo estates, located on the hills of Greve in Chianti, this wine is processed at controlled temperature (26/28°C 79/82°F) in stainless steel tanks with skin-contact maceration for about 20 days. It matures in new, 1st and 2nd passage French oak barrels for 18 months, then resting in bottle for an extra 6 months.

Sensory analysis

In the glass, an intense ruby red color with garnet hues. On the nose, it exudes intense scents of blackberry, juniper, oriental spices and quinine. On the palate, it’s elegant and mouth-filling, very sapid and slightly smoky.

I’Garage recommends

Excellent with any red meat recipe such as roasts and stews, with mushrooms and with mature/ripened cheeses.
