" IL BORGO" TENUTE DEL CABREO FOLONARI 2016
"Il Borgo" wine was born in the heart of the hilly area of the Chianti Classico area. The Tenute del Cabreo of the Folonari family is located in the countryside of Greve in Chianti, in one of the areas historically most suited for the cultivation of Sangiovese, but which has also proved to be perfect for the international Cabernet Sauvignon.
The vinification takes place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 28 ° C. Maceration on the skins for 18 days and in French oak barrels (225 liters) (30% new, 40% one year, 30% two years) for 18 months. Refinement: minimum 6 months in the bottle.
In the glass it has an intense ruby color. The bouquet expresses aromas of blackberries, cherries, small dark berry fruits, hints of undergrowth, spicy nuances and balsamic hints. On the palate it has an important body and structure, with an aromatically decisive and deep center of the mouth, an elegant tannic texture and a persistent finish, with great gustatory balance.
